Southeastern Weekender ticket

[Mr395008]

Hello,

I'm wanting to travel STP - SIT on 31/08 returning 02/09. Am I able to get a Weekender ticket for this? I've searched on Southeastern's website and I'm a bit confused if you can get a weekender ticket on High Speed services. Also, if this is possible, does anyone know the cost of it and if 16-25 railcard is accepted?

Thanks!

£25 for the Plus High Speed version according to BRfares. The same ticket doesn't show when the 16-25 railcard is entered which suggests the railcard isn't accepted.

With a 16-25 Railcard, it appears that the Off Peak Return at £17.80 (route: Plus High Speed) would be better value.

Valid after 0930 on the Friday 31/08 just like the Weekender.

But I'm wanting to get a weekend ticket? Travel on Friday return on Sunday. You can't do that with a standard return?

Why not?

Not with an Off Peak Day Return.
With an Off Peak Return you can return within one month

Apologies, I'm going mad. Completely forgot about the open return ticket. Thanks

Am I correct that these "weekender" fares are a vestige of an earlier time? It seems that they are rarely if ever better value than an off-peak return/super off-peak return.

Are they available for shorter distance journeys where you can normally only buy day returns?

I am not aware of any flows which have a WK2 but not an SVR fare. Someone will no doubt be along in good time to make me aware though.
