What's the cheapest way to commute from Brighton to London twice a week?

Question

I am going to be staying in Brighton for about a month in August. I work in London on Thursday and Sat mornings. I need to figure out the most inexpensive way to commute back and forth twice a week. Anyone have some good info? Cheers!

Answer 1

What time do you need to arrive in London, please?

You can catch a coach, but it's a long journey, especially as you enter South London, with all the traffic.

It would be easier to get a train and get a cheap day return - but you wouldn't be allowed to arrive in London before 0930.

I'll be happy to help further.

Answer 2

there is no cheap way! (sorry...)

if you're commuting and need to be there before 9, you'll have to get the most expensive ticket going - but only on thursday.

on saturday you'll be able to get a weekend return, which are much cheaper

if you work in london, do you have an oyster card?

if so, it would probably work out cheaper to get a return to london victoria then use the tube on the oystercard, rather than getting a railcard from brighton
