I have recently moved to London and have just done a changeover from a normal non-travelcard annual season ticket (OXP-MYB) to a paper zone 1-2 travelcard (it actually says from:CHX to:London Z1-2). The ticket office said I couldn't get the travelcard on an Oyster, so in the interests of time...

Just had an email back from Southeastern (2 weeks later so not as bad as I'd feared!). So for anyone else running into this discrepancy, it's worth sending a quick note as the rules are clear that the refund should be calculated based on annual rather than weekly * 40.

OK so just to be 100% clear the maths should be: Base rate refunded ticket: £6116 ÷ 365 = £16.76 Base rate new ticket: £4732 ÷ 365 = £12.96 Fare refunded: £16.76 x 356 = £5966.56 Fare to charge: £12.96 x 356 = £4613.76 Refund: £1352.80 Is this right? In that case given that I actually got...

Why 360 as opposed to 365?

Thanks Arctic Troll - that makes sense - I didn't know about market-based pricing. Do you have any idea whether I then need to keep pursuing the matter with Southeastern or should I take it up with Chiltern as it's their pricing that has the "discrepancy"?

Hi all, I just did a changeover from: Ashford Intl - London w/high speed - £6116pa To: Oxford Parkway - Marylebone via H Wycombe - £4732pa The base rate of the original ticket was calculated at £16.76 (6116/365), which is what I expected. I was expecting the base rate of the...

Thanks for the detailed replies. So am I right in thinking the consensus is: Breaking at Reading is probably technically allowed, but a) the barriers might not let you through, and/or b) you may get challenged by a gate inspector. LexyBoy - I can't seem to find the single-ticket option...

Suppose I have an Oxford to Tilehurst season ticket. As far as I can ascertain (from the National Rail journey planner) a "permitted route" for this journey is via Reading, which is beyond Tilehurst: Oxford ------------------------------------- Tilehurst --- Reading I understand that...

Thanks for the replies - I've looked at Oxf-Did and similar things but I don't see that I'd get the value back given the number of trips I tend to do to London. And switching to Newhaven still gives me the Gold Card which is a bigger benefit for me. I'll go ahead with the changeover...

Dear all, I have recently been made redundant and am looking for the most cost-effective way to refund my annual season ticket. Today (30th April 2012) is the last day I want my season ticket. The ticket is: Oxford to Tilehurst, 12 month, £2096. Valid 9th August 2011 - 8th August 2012...
