Time Out Country Walks near London Volume 1

Walk 19 : Hever to Leigh

Updates and Feedback

Summary	No major changes.

Updates	Fully revised in May 2008. There were no major changes, so even with an older edition of book 1, you should be fine.

Feedback	[add your comment] 3 comments Posted by Anonymous : Saturday, 05 July, 2008 I bought a return ticket from Victoria to Leigh, via Hever, for a bit under 11 pounds (June 2008). Posted by Sean : Thursday, 31 July, 2008 Thanks for the info, Anonymous. On the National Rail site, I entered a (rather silly) journey "Victoria to Leigh via Hever" and it does indeed give a fare of £7.05 (with Network Card). This is exactly the same if you omit "via Hever". It's impressive if you actually got a ticket clerk to specify "via Hever" on your ticket: our feedback is that inspectors have been reluctant to accept a normal Leigh ticket on the train to Hever. I'll update the Walk Notes. Posted by Wendy : Saturday, 09 August, 2008 I tried to buy a return ticket from London Bridge to Leigh, via Hever, as suggested, today (Aug 2008). No luck, they couldn't do it. So the cheapest option for me was to buy a return ticket to Hever, with a single from Leigh to Croydon Stations (about 15 pounds but less with the rail card and travel card).
