Which is refundable if you miss the train, as long as you don't collect the ticket at the self-service machine.

Furthermore, the refund procedure isn't entirely straightforward - one needs to print, fill out and send (to a freepost address) a refund form, and then according to the last FAQ on this page (the italics are my emphasis)...
How long will it take Southern to refund the cost of my ticket?

That is true. I am not enthusiastically recommending Southern Advance tickets, merely pointing out the flexibility available. I always use the FCC ONLY option.

And yet ...
My upcoming Victoria to LGW rtn, seems to be pricing up cheaper on the GEX.
About 41 rtn for the two of us on a WebDuo fare.
Southern seem to be wanting 27rtn each, and Adv singles seem expensive at 5:02 am.
All well and good, but the GEX online booking engine is as clunky as an old bus. Two attempts so far and 'sorry - try again later'
Really don't like the GEX since they made it barriersville .. print & scan on-board per HEX far more civilised.
