Company season tickets

[Halsebee]

Are there season tickets available to organisations allowing different members of staff to use them? I think this was mentioned in another post once, that they cost more than standard single user seasons, which seems reasonable.
Can anyone please post details of these tickets, if they exist?

I'm not aware of how to get the information, even from Avantix Traveller. I think they are on a case-by-case basis, so you may have to contact the TOC that prices the flow. If you tell us which flow(s) you are interested in I can tell you which TOC that is (in some cases it is obvious, in some it isn't).

As Yorkie's mentioned, it will depend on the TOC who sets the fare for the journey. For London commuter TOCs, you can expect to pay an additional 50% on top of the season ticket cost.

You need to apply to the train company directly for inter-personal season tickets, but it is for businesses really. The FRPP entry doesn't appear to have been updated properly in a while, it lists....

1.5 times the normal fare

ATW (Arriva Trains Wales)
FCC (First Capital Connect) (sub note to say the pricing manager can change this)
FSR (First Scotrail)
MML (Midland Mainline, now East Midlands Trains)
NCH (???)
NIW (???)
NT (Northern Rail)
PSC (???)
PSY (???)
PTW (???)
PWY (???)
SWT (South West Trains)
VWC (Virgin West Coast)
VXC (Virgin Cross Country, now Crosscountry)

Apply to the TOC (no price data)

GWR (First Great Western)
GXR (???)
PMR (???)
RCL (???)
RMS (???)
SET (South Eastern Trains)

Apply to TOC (no price data, Annual tickets only)

SN (Southern)

No interpersonal tickets

c2c (c2c)
EC (East Coast)
LER (???)
STS (???)

I would guess the Pxx ones are the PTEs (that would make sense for at least South Yorks, Tyne and Wear, West Yorks and Merseytravel).

LER = London Eastern Railway a.k.a. "one" a.k.a. National Express East Anglia.
STS presumably the Stansted Express

LER is London Eastern Railway. It is/was the trading name that had to be written on the cheques (a few years ago).

NCH (Chiltern)
NIW (Island Line)
PSC (Strathclyde PTE)
PSY (South Yorkshire PTE)
PTW (Nexus/Tyne & Wear PTE)
PWY (West Yorkshire PTE)
GXR (GNER??)
PMR (Merseyside PTE)
RMS (Merseyrail)
LER (now NXEA)
STS (???)

The three-letter codes were generally the first letter representing the sector in BR days Intercity, Network or Provincial, then two-letters for the sub-sector (now TOC in many cases). STS may be Silverlink Train Services?

London Eastern Railway Limited is the *registered* name of the company at Companies House. The *trading* name can be anything the company wants, in this case 'one' followed by National Express East Anglia.

Ah. I knew what I meant.

 

[hairyhandedfool]

EC would be GNER (now East Coast). Could GXR be Gatwick Express?

I guess RCL must be Central Trains (now EMT)
