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.

Also, for some mysterious reason appears that this only calls at
Hampton Court _Station_ going towards Esher, but not on the
return journey.

There are the residential roads south of the Ember (though you'd make
yourself unpopular parking there) - but, if you were doing that, I'd
have
thought it would make more sense to walk to Thames Ditton station
rather than all the way to Hampton Court. Also Thames Ditton station
is connected to Esher by both the 513 bus and the 515
Kingston - Thames Ditton - Esher - Guildford service.

Is an Esher-or-Thames Ditton to London season available?
Not sure where to look online that doesn't want me to register.

Thanks

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.
