Crossrail Fares for Retired Staff

[BelleIsle]

Does anyone know what the Crossrail fares will be for retired staff with a Priv? I assume that Paddington-Reading/Liverpool Street-Shenfield will be the same as now as they are current national rail services being taken over (with the exception of Heathrow). Likewise, the core plus the Abbey Wood branch would be subject to the 75% discount for TfL lines as new build.

Do we even know what normal Crossrail fares will be yet? I think TfL have announced details for the core section, but as for out towards Reading? Without that I don't think we can judge what priv / staff fares will be.

Whatever they are, I would expect free passes to be valid and 2/3 discount if you pay.

Why would it be 2/3 and not 3/4 ?

Free and Priv travel will be available, and has already been introduced on the former Heathrow Connect services between Hayes and Heathrow (they were previously only valid between Paddington and Hayes & Harlington).

No idea on pricing yet, although I wouldn't expect much difference from fares today. I believe the core will be treated like London Overground, and National Rail staff travel will be valid as per any other NR journey (including free travel with a box or status pass), but don't have that in writing.
