The ones I am offering do have the photocard number, but SWT has previously confirmed in writing that these passes can be used with any Gold Card that meets the requirements. The photocard number on the pass makes no difference. Let me be blunt though. The point of this thread isn't to...

I have a batch of 8 unused SWT Gold Card free weekend tickets. I have become aware that since the franchise changed hands in August, the new operator is honouring these tickets only in combination with a season ticket issued _before_ the changeover (which I don't have). Therefore, I am...

This Saturday, I need to travel: morning: Richmond - Ascot afternoon: Ascot - Waterloo (passing through Richmond) evening: take a bunch of trips around London by bus and underground The logical ticket would be an Ascot - London Zones 1-6 off peak day travelcard but I don't know if you can...

Thanks everyone. It seems clear as mud! Another scenario - what if Person A had expected to travel alone and bought a non-discounted ticket, but then subsequently Person B decided to go along for the journey - would Person B be able to buy a discounted ticket? Wouldn't machines have to...

A One Day Travelcard can actually be purchased on any train company website up to 12 weeks before travel, just like any other rail ticket. Simples. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- BZ tickets can normally not be purchased online, you need to go to a ticket office or a Southern TVM.

With a Two Together railcard do both ticket holders have to hold the same tickets for the journey, or simply travel together? Example scenarios where Persons A and B hold a Two Together railcard: Person A has a season ticket covering the entire journey, Person B doesn't Person A has a...

This topic was originally posted in the Fares & Ticketing forum but no one there replied so I thought I'd put it in the Underground forum in case anyone here can provide guidance. I have an annual Oyster travelcard. On a few occasions I've experienced long delays on the Underground so I...

Thanks for confirming, folks!

How does Section 19(c) apply if trains are rerouted due to planned engineering works? For instance you can normally travel London Kings Cross - Cambridge with a combination of a season Zones 1-4 Travelcard + an Oakleigh Park-Cambridge single. However this weekend the services will be using...

I wish to travel Kew Gardens - Cambridge using the route via Richmond, changing to the Underground at Waterloo. Is this a permitted route? I'll be using an Off Peak Return ticket, routed Any Permitted including Underground. If I buy a ticket for Richmond - Cambridge, I believe this should be...

I have an annual Oyster travelcard. On a few occasions I've experienced long delays on the Underground so I claimed service delay refunds from TFL. Most of those refunds were approved but the amounts were lower than the applicable adult PAYG fare. Also one refund was rejected for no immediately...

No booking fee is applied if you use an e-voucher for full payment (at least when I checked today).

I'm purchasing tickets for my wife to travel London Victoria - Gatwick Airport. She has an annual Z1-4 Oyster Travelcard. If she gets a Selhurst - Gatwick single (£3.35 with the Gold Card discount) the combination is valid for any service including Gatwick Express. We all know this is a valid...

Does an Oyster card with an annual Travelcard automatically receive the 1/3 discount on PAYG fares beyond the Travelcard boundaries? Or must you take the Oyster card and the Gold record card to a ticket office to have the discount added? Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. The reason I asked how far in advance you can buy an Oyster season is because SWT at Richmond have always been really annoying on this front - they never seem willing to sell anything more than one day in advance. Do you think Chiltern would be willing to accommodate a...
