The price for a weekly rail-only season ticket from Hampton Court to
Waterloo listed at http://tinyurl.com/2flhgs is £29.30. My girlfriend
asked at Waterloo today and was told it was £33.80, just as the
nationalrail.co.uk season ticket calculator says.

Is there a way to get the £29.30 ticket or is that inaccurate information?

Looking on www.swt-seasontickets.com (an SWT badged version of the
Trainline season ticket booking engine) gives an Annual price for
Hampton Court to Vauxhall of £1172. Dividing this by 40 to get the 7 Day
rate gives the magic £29.30 figure.

In short, whoever prepared that page hasn't checked their figures before
posting.

Cheers,

Could it be a cockup somewhere due to their being separate seasons for
Hampton (London), Hampton Wick and Hampton Court?

This figure is now showing as an option on the NRE site alongside the
£33.80. It wasn't last night.

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

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

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.
