  • 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?...

  • 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...
