Buying a one day Travelcard - Jubilee weekend

[blakey1152]

Afternoon, after experiencing a bizarre phenomenon where it seems Southeastern have made it difficult to buy a one day Travelcard in person for the Jubilee weekend I was hoping someone could remind me what the number code is to get a 1-6 Travelcard up on a mixing desk for pick up on TOD.

I tried to buy a one day paper Travelcard for next Thursday (the first day of the Jubilee weekend) using my Network railcard at my local southeastern station who informed me that it was a minimum fare of £13 on a weekday and the ticket couldn't be used before 1000.

So I declined to purchase and contacted Southeastern and much to my surprise they told me that the Friday and Monday are the bank holidays so normal Network Railcard rules apply on Thursday 2nd June!

Thinking I could bypass the craziness I thought I'd just get a TOD but couldn't remember the code to get it to come up.

I am of course assuming that Southeastern are incorrect here and I can get a network Railcard discount next Thursday and use the ticket before 10am

It sounds to me like they have mucked up. The Bank Holidays are definitely Thurs and Fri.

0035 is the code for a Zones 1-6 TC.

Brilliant. Thank you so much

The LNER app is correctly showing the network card discounts for a travelcard on Thursday and Friday from my GN station. Though I have to put a station such as Vauxhall as the destination to get it to show a travelcard instead of London terminals or London Thameslink tickets.
I will be getting a travelcard for Friday as I’ll be at Lords for the test match.

I think the 0035 code only works with a Worldline site in 'Mixing Deck' mode.

However you can get other booking sites to offer Day Travelcards by searching for a return journey from a Zone 6 (or indeed Zone 5) NR station to London Terminals, or London Underground zone 1, or LU zone 1-6 etc. ('London Terminals' or 'London (any)' should be an option on any booking site, but the name used for LU zonal destinations varies between different sites).

Depending on how you intend to use it, I'd choose a vaguely appropriate Zone 6 origin station appropriate to where you intend to start using the Travelcard validity (e.g. Surbiton for south west, Orpington for south east, Romford for east etc etc).
