Planning to go London-Southampton Central sometime next month for an evening football match. There were some megatrain fares floating about but the last return journey was on the 2155 which if the match goes into extra time is not going to be late enough. Now given that there is no AP fare for the journey and the Any Permitted CDS comes in at a whopping £20.95 (Y-P) / £21.00 CDR, I thought of seeking refuge with the Southern Only fare whose CDR comes in at £15.05. If I happen to end up on the 2300 SWT Waterloo service then all I had to do would be an off-route excess of £3.00 (seeing the industry only works in 5p units).
Problem comes that at the moment Southern is offering 15% off off-peak tickets on purchases from their website which reduces the CDR to £12.80. My questions:
1) Is this ticket excessible seeing that Avantix Traveller defines the ticket as Route 00777 - Southern Only which meant that it is operator specific rather than route specific?
2) If so, how is the excess calculated on the web-discounted ticket?
3) If not, is a ticket from Clapham Junction excessible? They are defined as Route 00947 - Barnham. I can always use Oyster to get there if needed
