Ah. If you put in "London Waterloo" you only get two options, but if
you leave it as "London" you get a third:

[...]

7 Days 1 Month 3 Months 6 Months 12 Months
£29.30 £112.60 £337.60 £675.10 £1,172.00

A-ha. If I try a Hampton Court to London monthly on
swt-seasontickets.com, I get my choice of:

Hampton Court-Vauxhall This ticket allows travel on any permitted
route. view £112.60
Hampton Court-London Terminals This ticket allows travel on any
permitted route. view £129.80
Hampton Court-London St Pancrs This ticket is only valid for routes not
involving tube travel. view £129.80
Hampton Court-London Terminals This ticket is only valid for routes
passing through Esher. view £161.30
Hampton Court-Zone R1256 Zones This ticket allows travel on any
permitted route. view £171.30

I suppose the St. Pancras ticket is via Wimbledon and Thameslink, which
I hadn't thought of.

The question remains whether it is possible to get all the way to
Waterloo for GBP 29.30/112.60 as advertised in at least two locations
now, we see. Any ideas?

I'm baffled - which Hampton Court - London Terminals routes
would pass through Esher? Some mad commute to Paddington
via Basingstoke and Reading?

Thanks

It is actually a dual-availability season ticket that is valid to both
Hampton Court and Esher. The description is not very helpful though.

An extra 30 quid a week for the option of driving to Esher?

Not permanently, but the application involves a lot of building work,
including moving the car park underground, so I'd expect a lot of
disruption (I don't think there's a Hampton Court-Esher bus link
any more, so these tickets are presumably for car-borne
commuters).

The application is 2007/2970 , 2971 & 2972 accessible via
http://www.elmbridge.gov.uk/services...ningonline.htm

I'd expect something in all of that about interim arrangements
during the works, but I've not managed to wade through it all yet.

Thanks

There is such a link but it's useless: 513 Kingston-Hampton
Court-Esher-Cobham-Downside 3 buses a day. I suppose a commuter might
live or park their car at some point where both stations (2 miles apart
by road) are a reasonable choice - long ago I was issued, at no extra
cost and without being asked, a season from Walton-on-Thames OR Cobham
to Waterloo.

I think that's a dual route availability ticket. It means you have the
option of catching an Esher-London train instead of a train from
Hampton Court.

I'm fairly sure not - I travel from Thames Ditton and have picked up
on the grapevine that there's a cheaper price for London for those who
don't go to Waterloo, e.g. those who travel to Vauxhall and get the
tube from there (or even just walk from Vauxhall). Waterloo counts as
London Terminals, so you're stuck with the higher price.

Clapham Junction may also count as "London" in the above.
