London to brighton Trains £3

"Hi,
I am unsure where to post this, as it might be a normal price or a bug (I don't take the train much)
National Express East Coast currently sells train tickets from london - brighton for this summer are at £3 each way.
What is weird is that the nationalrail website price them at £5, but that none of the 14 other train operators has these tickets at £5 (their cheapest is £13 or so).

It might be the same for other south-east or national destinations, but I don't have the time to try. If you try, give us feedback ;-)

So, if like me you're planning a couple of days in Brighton this summer, enjoy!

edit 1: be sure to select 'London Victoria' not 'London (all)'

edit2: also works for Portsmouth and other stations in the south east. Thanks pompeyrich for testing!"

Thanks Scrapper.
I may be going down to Brighton tomorrow.
Looks like £6 return - cheapest I've ever known it to be in the past 15 years or so is £10!
Will let you know if it works.

This works, you have to buy before 6pm on the previous day... they can also be bought form any London "Advance Tickets" counter.

It also works for stations in and around so you can go from london victoria to falmer or seaford for the 2.95 price. Make sure you plan your return journey properly I have rarely faced such difficulty getting my bike through the gates before 10 as I have at Brighton
