I have a SWR Eastleigh-Winchester Annual Season ticket on a Smart Card. I saw the big signs saying railcards an now be added to Tap2Go so added it and have had my railcard approved. I thought it would be great for things like going to Southampton or Hedge End and not having to use a paper ticket or even load a ticket!
I then had a thought about some linked scenarios. When I go to London I only need a ticket from Winchester to London.
Follow up. Can I buy tickets and load them to my card first? For example add an advance ticket so a journey is covered by my season ticket and the advance so no extra charge is needed? I’m sure I have done that before on the SWR app but not sure how to make it do it.

- I sometimes split ticket, I am certain it won't give me this 'best price'
- In a few weeks there are engineering works, I have already booked my ticket to go via reading to Paddington. I started the ticket from Winchester but won't have the chance to tap out at Winchester, not formerly an issue.
- It is sometimes cheaper for me to get an advance from Winchester to Waterloo, again I wouldn't tap out.
