But Peter, trains that go to Olympia don't exist?! Thanks- it may well be worth it then! Will ask my parents and try and convince them its worth(ing) it!

Edit: Hang on, if that ticket is only valid on southern services, the last southern service into Milton Keynes Central appears to arrive at 19:00, meaning i'd need to depart West Worthing at 16:02 >_>

That doesn't seem too great...

You could always get a train to Clapham Junction then go London Overground to Willesden Junction then London Overground to Watford Junction then to Milton Keynes, bit slower but would be able to leave later...

But it wouldn't be covered by the £12.50 Southern Downloader eTicket, as far as I am aware... anything else would be more expensive and just not viable.

Please correct me if I am wrong!

Oh, I thought it was a ticket via Kensington Olympia. Ah yes, a ticket via Olympia is £31.05

The cheapest option would be a Downloader plus a single from WFJ, coming in at £27.30.

Why does it cost less to go from Milton Keynes to Watford Junction via Worthing than it does to go from Watford Junction to Milton Keynes?

Worthing Darts Update:
The first venue, The George & Dragon in Tarring opens at 11am.
Can those planning to attend let me know what time they will be arriving in Worthing so I can be sure to be at the pub before you arrive.
One day I shall return!
