Hi I am thinking of joining FCC, I have heard that you get a priv rate oyster card how much off does this give you and can you put travelcards on it.
Also, I have heard that as well as free travel on FCC you get reduced rate (75%) off season tickets. My question is does anyone know that if you buy a season ticket "(London Bridge + London Zones 1 - 6)" are you eligible for a 75% discount on TFL servies as part of the ticket or are you only allowed to purchase National Rail tickets at 75 % off for e.g. ("London Bridge - Lewisham").

Many Thanks

PRIV season tickets are National Rail only, e.g. Lewisham to London Terminals. You cannot add Z1-6 onto one of these.

I am not 100% sure about the PRIV Oyster as I do not get one as a SWT employee, I know you get 75% off or more on the PAYG fares (Excludes Bus and National Rail) I think PRIV travelcards/Travelcard cap no longer exist. It is still very good value though!

FCC staff get a "PTAC" (Privilege Ticket Authority Card) entitling them to PRIV rate Pay As You Go Oyster fares on London Underground, London Overground and the Docklands Light Railway. As far as I'm aware, there's no entitlement to PRIV rate Travelcard Seasons.

Lewisham to West Hampstead Rte: Not Underground is slightly than Lewisham to London Terminals, and allows travel past Farringdon to St Pancras (but probably not Victoria), which could be useful

You mean to say "allows travel past *city thameslink* to farringdon/st panc/west hampstead" (not that it would be an issue for an FCC employee, though the cheaper annual price would be appreciated).
