Default Combination Tickets to beat SWT 'before 1100' fare increase ?

Good points. The new SWT leaflet says "on trains leaving after 11am

or
in the case of stations further away from London, on trains

arriving in
London after 12 noon"


There is another apparent anomaly though - having announced that

_all_
trains 'towards' London are in the new regime, they don't seem to be,

eg
Eastleigh to Basingstoke is still on the original CDR set up all day.

There
must be another rule about distance too.


Possibly, but does something not including Basingstoke have that
feature, say Havant to Petersfield ?

The point being that Basingstoke (and Reading) have routes to London
using a different TOC so SWT has effectively excluded them from the new
regime with only a 0.10 difference in fares.

Basingstoke to London CDR 16.40 SuperoffpeakDR £16.30
