    Oyster with Disabled Persons Railcard being charged full adult fare on-peak & railcard fare off-peak

    Having had the wrong option selected in the past I am now very careful when renewing to double check with staff that they have selected Disabled Railcard not National Railcard when adding a discount on the POM. From memory it’s near the bottom of the list of options in the drop down menu.
