I need to make this journey Friday afternoon returning late evening. Theatre visit.
NRE will only give me an itinerary and fare (£20.05 with railcard) via Marylebone and Chiltern Railways but that route does not work for the return journey. The 22.09 departure from Amersham is too early and the 23.09 all stops departure may leave me stranded in London overnight. However I can catch a Metropolitan line tube train at 22.47 arriving Kings Cross St Pancras at 23.43 which will hopefully allow me to travel from St Pancras Intl on the 23.55 departure or else the 00.10 from Victoria.
Is the £20.05 fare valid to travel on the Metropolitan Line between Kings Cross St Pancras and Amersham or is there a different fare for that routing ? Or could I buy a One Day Travelcard to include travel to Amersham (which is in zone 9 on the London Underground station map) ?
Incidentally does anyone know why NRE does not seem to recognise that Amersham has an underground station? Using Kings Cross as a starting point the journey planner suggests underground to Marylebone and then train rather than direct by tube.
