Can someone explain why it is that if you buy a cheap-day return from a
station on the Brighton Line in Sussex to City-Thameslink you are only
allowed to return by First Capital Connect (ie. from C-T or London Bridge)
and not from Victoria? The ticket is marked "Route - FCC only".
This has been much discussed, mainly with regard to Gatwick - where there
is apparently a "not Gatwick Express" version of the ticket that is in
effect an "any-permitted" (except Gatex).
But I agree that to the casual traveller they do appear to try very hard
to force the FCC-only ticket onto you. (I've even been sold an FCC-only
ticket to Waterloo East, which is in theory impossible).
What station is it?
Three Bridges
