5p difference in travelcard online

[James Wake]

Hi all

planning to buy a Travelcard tomorrow in conjunction with another ticket, like today in order to return home, but I want to buy it online to collect at a station.
So I’ve gone on Southern website it’s showing 5p more than what I paid today from ticket machine?
Any ideas?
Many thanks in advance

It's yet another example of a Railcard rounding issue

Railcard discounts on Oyster: rounded down on LTFares.com, but not on OysterFares.com—which site is correct?

Shepperton to Exeter Via Waterloo LSWR Routes

Ok, so likelihood is I’ll be buying the tickets at Stratford Station, are there any Greater Anglia I guess machines there and can I buy tickets on there from another station?

You can buy online and collect it there. If you’re worried about the 5p you can try a different website. Personally, I value my time higher than spending time worrying about such a trivial amount.

It’s the principle though, I respect your opinion, but it should be the same price. I’ll have a look at other websites whilst I’m out tomorrow just in case plans change
