I’ll be travelling to/from Godalming in a couple of weeks time, leaving actually from Waterloo. It’ll be a Southern rail train hence this question. I was going to buy two advance tickets, but a friend mentioned ‘evening out’ tickets, which are a fair bit cheaper. He is not too sure how they worked though. Do you just buy these on the day of travel, say from a ticket machine or ticket office or do they have to be paid for in advance, like an advance ticket. My firend says they are valid on any train after 12:30 and for any return train .. is this correct ?
Godalming is served by South Western Railway trains, not Southern. Evening Out is a cheaper ticket for shorter distance journeys, Monday - Saturday. Travelling outside of London, your Evening Out ticket will be valid on any train after 12:00 Monday to Saturday (not including peak times: 15:59 - 19:01 from Waterloo). You can return any time on the same day you travel, up until 04:29 the following day. You can buy Evening Out tickets from 12 weeks in advance. Just search on the website and see what is the best ticket the system offers you.
