This is a journey decided before you arrive: whether the driver watched the train, whether the price moved, and whether anyone is standing on the concourse at Southampton Central when you come off. On the Portsmouth run we settle all three in advance — the train tracked, the fare from £78 fixed, and a named chauffeur waiting with a board.
