Hi,
I need to travel from Sheffield to Eastbourne on Friday 28th August, returning on Sunday 30th. I can be flexible with my travel times but would ideally like to arrive in Eastbourne between 14:00-16:00. There is no rush for me to get back to Sheffield on the Sunday but will ideally be commencing my journey between 13:00-15:00.
What would be my best ticketing options? Different booking sites throw up all kinds of different routes and prices so thought it would be best to ask the experts on here rather than rely on algorithms... don't want to replicate the recent mistakes of certain Education Secretaries
As a bit of a curve ball, some friends of mine will also be travelling between Clapham Junction and Eastbourne on the same dates with the same arrival/departure windows. They haven't booked their tickets yet but it would be great if we could all travel on the same trains if it's not a huge amount of hassle. I don't mind disembarking and spending some time at Clapham Junction station or a pub/cafe nearby in order to make this happen, if necessary. That being said if this makes the journey far more expensive and/or complicated then it's not a major issue and I'll just travel from Sheffield to Eastbourne and back without breaking my journeys.
Many thanks for all assistance provided.
