Train ticket help please?

For a start, you won't be travelling on South East Trains which don't serve Chichester. Your local train operating company is Southern Trains. You can book through tickets via any company, however. - that was one of the conditions imposed on train operating companies at the time of privatisation in the 1990s. You will, however, have to rebook if going to London via Southampton as there appears to be no through ticketing arrangements that way. You do realise, however, how much more it will cost you? A direct off peak day return to London from Chichester is £16. The same to Southampton is £12, and from there to Waterloo £39 (or £34.20 on a few trains). You would be far better meeting your friend at Waterloo by changing at Clapham Junction. (Prices are adult)
