It's about £20 for a day ticket, all London zones, when you turn up at the station and use their ticket machines. £37!? Do not buy a ticket.

3 or more travelling?
If so Super OffPeak Day Travelcard?

Okay. I have been quoted 39 quid for a return from Gatwick to Victoria coming back Sunday. That doesn't seem right to me especially when you can get a day ticket including all London zones for £20. I have bought previously bought this from a machine at Gatwick. Anyone advise?
That's a special hand crafted ticket, worth the extra money.

Eastbourne to London with day travel card zones 1 - 6 = £23 (network card price)

The new Southern booking website is a pile of **** that throws up all sorts of crazy results. It appears to have been designed by a high school student as part of a GCSE project! Naturally when I emailed Southern last month, they claimed there was no problem although they would pass on my comments to their IT Charlie's. If you don't lose the will to live, have a read of this lot re Southerns 'new' booking system.

Without researching, as I'm (sort of) busy at the moment, that price you quote sounds way ott and incorrect. I suspect its a quote for the Gatwick Express though.

I got a Travel Card (Bexhill-Charlton via Haywards Heath) with no railcard for £23.50, my daughters (16-25 railcard) was £15.50

Completely this, it is the worst rail website in the country since they did the "update"
I'd also recommend for people who visit London a lot, getting a Network Railcard. It only covers the South East part of the network, but it's £30 for a year and can save you 1/3 on fares. For example it's about £12.50 for a Super Off Peak Travelcard from Brighton, which is insanely cheap. You can also use have up to four people travelling on the same card, which is a really good deal IMO.

Its not just me then, the old one worked the new one is just utter rubbish.
Why do I need to see a map of my journey, I know I am going from A to B and dont need a visual.
What has happened to Victoria tickets mornings on the week, all tickets shown are London Terminals only which used to be more expensive but can't check
Lots of stupid fares
Despite resetting passwork, all personal details have been lost so have to input details everytime
and on it goees
I used to have one of these, but as time went by the restrictions and caveats became crazy to the point I was almost unable to use it.
I believe the only three restrictions at the moment are a minimum fare on weekdays of £13, you can't use it on Advance tickets (which is fair enough I suppose), and the fact that you can't use it before 10am on a weekday. Weekends and Bank Holidays don't suffer from the minimum fair or 10am restriction though.

For anybody using west coastway services, the Southern numpties have done it again! Journey planner shows bus service from Worthing to Brighton (not sure where the restriction starts though).
Let's hope they have reinstated the double deckers this time. Last time I had to suffer "Ordeal by Southern" a few weeks ago, they decided to use lower capacity coaches and used drivers who didn't know the routes or where the pickup/set down points are at the stations. This was compounded by the Southern staff at every station between Worthing & Brighton going into hiding and not providing advice & assistance to travellers.
Respect though to the staff at Worthing who stayed at their post despite getting (deserved) crap from passengers who had to endure the appalling coach service.
If you are travelling on west coastway, don't rely on the coach/bus timetable. No attempt is made to keep to it!

Unfortunately, coach places are not on offer to supporters of the visiting team.
