Any split ticket ideas for Swindon to Esher and back in a day? Off peak give only a very short time there.
Do you hold a railcard?? Some initial thoughts ...
Swindon to Esher
42.60
Swindon to Didcot + Didcot to Esher
12.50 + 26.70 = 39.20
Swindon to Didcot + Didcot to Esher if you hold a Network Railcard
12.50 + 26.70 * 0.66 = 30.10
Swindon to Esher with a Senior, disabled, forces or similar railcard
42.60 * 0.66 = 28.10
Swindon to Didcot + Didcot to Esher with a Senior, disabled, forces or similar railcard
(12.50 + 26.70) * 0.66 = 25.90
Edit to AddAlso look at a further split at Virginia Water ... reduce the 26.70 element ...
>>> 17.50 + 6.80
24.3
>>>
An appropriate railcard discount could be applied. Note the minimum fare though on each Network Railcard ticket. Without and railcards, down to 36.80
I suspect BigNoseMac may find better ...
