Later this month I am taking a day trip from Winchester (WIN) to Chichester (CCH) to meet up with friends.
I am definitely travelling WIN - CCH by train.
But I may get a lift back at least part of the way from Chichester from one of my friends. They would drop me off at Eastleigh (ESL) or Southampton Airport Parkway (SOA).
I think this is known as 'starting short' but apologies if I have used the wrong term.
An offpeak single WIN-CCH is £13.10 (with railcard).
An offpeak return WIN-CCH is £13.95.
An offpeak single ESL / SOA - WIN is around £4.
My question is:
If I buy a return ticket, can I use it for the full extent of its validity on the outward journey (WIN-CCH) and for the short section of the return journey that I may do by train?
Or do I have to buy a single WIN-CCH and a single ESL / SOA - WIN - which will cost me more?
Advice welcome - I don't want to spend money unnecessarily but I don't want to get into bother!
