Good afternoon all.

If I have a TfL staff pass and I'm travelling from South Woodham Ferrers to Stratford (on GA) do I need to change trains at Shenfield to get on the Elizabeth Line for the staff pass to be valid, or will a ticket from SWF to Shenfield suffice (then I just stay on the train to Stratford)?

Thanks

If you want to stay on Greater Anglia all the way you need to buy a ticket for the entire journey.

A TfL Staff Pass is only valid on GA services between Stratford and Liverpool Street.

Thanks, looks like I'll be changing at Shenfield for the Lizzy line :(

There’s a recent cautionary tale of someone using a TfL staff pass and being caught ticketless between Shenfield and Stratford, it might be worth a read, cos it can be a very expensive mistake. There are links to earlier cases too.

Thank you, reinforces my thinking that I'll change trains. Slightly longer journey but stress free :D:D
