Hello,
Hi,
I was wondering if someone could advise me?
I have an enquiry with regards to the validity of my train ticket. I currently have a year season ticket that's Barnehurst to London Terminals (which includes Victoria, Waterloo/Waterloo-East, Vauxhall etc). I usually travel in/out of London Victoria on Southeastern trains, however given that that the last train from Victoria to Barnehurst departs at 20:09, do I have any other routes I can travel from Victoria to Barnehurst after this last train where my season ticket is valid (and ideally without having to pay extra or travel on tube?).
For example am I permitted to travel from Victoria to Clapham Junction (Southern trains), then Clapham Junction to Waterloo (South West trains), then Waterloo-East to Barnehurst (Southeastern)? Is this route is allowed given they are permitted London Terminals (Vic/Wat/Wae) on my route? If I wanted to travel between Victoria and Waterloo the shortest route on national rail trains is via Clapham Junction. Travelling between Vauxhall and Victoria on national rail is also only possible via Clapham Junction.
I have looked at the routing guide and there are easements which involve Victoria, Clapham Junction and Waterloo stations (700013 &700014), my ticket says any permitted route but I assume this isn't applicable to my route?
Also can I break my journey at Clapham Junction for the above route? As one of the staff members at Clj said my ticket isn't valid via Clapham Junction at all. Seems a bit strange as there's no other reasonable national rail route between Victoria and Waterloo (after the last direct train from vic at 20.09) to get me home apart from using Clj (which isn't a London Terminal), which is the shortest route.
Would a changeover of my season ticket to Barnehurst-Clapham Junction be a better option? The season ticket would be £52 extra compared to my current one (full years pass fee).
Thanks!
