Looks ok, says explicitly here that you can break journeys on off-peak tickets. I wouldn't risk it as you definitely need to keep your ticket - it's best to find a member of staff and get them to let you through the luggage gate.
Edit: there appears to be an echo in here...
Can someone help me, a public transport nodder, out with train booking/logistics.
Essentially, I need to do the following:
16th Apr
Bournemouth > Brighton
(pick up marathon registration pack)
Brighton > Eastbourne
(stay at parents)
17th Apr
Eastbourne > Brighton
(run marathon)
Brighton > Bournemouth
Can I get a Bournemouth > Eastbourne "Off-peak return" ticket? It state the following:
Break of Journey
You may start, break and resume, or end your journey at any intermediate station along the route of travel.
So, would I be able to pop into Brighton, then get back on the train to Eastbourne, or will the machines at the Brighton station exit keep my ticket when I leave?...
