We will be explaining those dubious terms and we will also clarify on which means of transportation the card is valid in Brighton, how far it can get you on your way to Brighton and also if it can take you to other places in the broader area around it.
That rose symbol on your Freedom Pass is precisely the symbol of the National Concessionary scheme that I mentioned before, which allows you to travel with buses in places outside London. You will have to buy normal tickets without receiving any discounts. Although you can go around in Brighton tapping on and off with your Freedom Pass, unfortunately, you cannot use it to travel from London to Brighton neither by train nor by a coach of the National Express.
You cannot even approach Brighton with your Freedom pass, meaning coming to Gatwick Airport with it, since it is not valid in the Gatwick Express line.
So, no other choice remaining than buying a ticket. I realise that this is a bit of a bummer, but I have better news coming up for you shortly. Although in London the Freedom Pass can be used for every possible means of transporting including River Services or even discounts in Emirates airline , in all other cities of the scheme, including Brighton, the pass can only be used for buses.
The amount of train stations in Brighton is small, 4 to be exact Brighton Main train station, Moulsecoomb Station, Preston Park, London Road Train Station and are mainly being used as disembarkation points for outbound trips and not for inside the city transportation. What are those and how is this going to affect your trip?
Although the answer to that might seem self-evident -the buses which do routes inside the city- it can be more complicated than that. It may not display this or other websites correctly.

In my experience only some ticket machines offer "Z6B" as a destination but others don't at least I have never worked out how to select it. I'm not sure about the ticket machines at Gatwick. If the queue for the ticket office to too long then a single to Coulsdon South from a machine should be the same, or about the same, as the zone boundary price. As for the Gatwick Express; other threads on this forum debate the precise status of that service and the tickets that are valid but I wouldn't chance it.
See this statement on the Gatwick Express fares web-page " Please note that Freedom Passes are not valid for travel with Gatwick Express". SAPhil Member. Joined 27 Jan Messages If you are prepared to use Thameslink only then it is cheaper to buy a ticket from Croydon stations than boundary zone 6. SAPhil said:. Joined 6 Jun Messages 55, Location Yorkshire. My understanding is that a Freedom Pass acts as an Off Peak Travelcard Season, and therefore an extension from Boundary Zone 6 or the relevant boundary station should be valid on non-stop trains.
Whether or not GTR's on board supervisors will be happy to accept such a combination or not, I do not know. Joe Paxton Established Member.
