London - Woking seasonal ticket

[daniela]

Hi everyone,

I need some help I am moving to UK very soon. My office is located in Woking, but I'd like to live in London and reach the office by train. Do you know how much is a seasonal ticket from Clapham Junction to Woking? Thanks a lot!

Just a point for the OP, the National Rail website has a very handy season ticket calculator which will give you the options listed above:

The Annual ticket is a Gold Card, which gets you 1/3 off most journeys in the South East e.g. if you take a leisure trip not covered by your Season ticket.

You can get a Season for any period of 1 month or greater, if you can't afford the initial investment of an annual then it can be best to buy them in 5 week blocks (starting Mondays and finishing Fridays - but varying that to take into account bank holidays, annual leave etc)

Hi Yorkie,
Thank you very much for your reply.
What does it mean that it is a Gold Card and how can I get it? I am sorry, but I don't kno how it works with the seasonal tickets in the UK... Thank you

A Gold Card is another name for a ticket valid for one year which includes travel in the London and South East area. It gives you 34% off most travel in that area that isn't covered by your season ticket.

Ok, I see. I will ask for it at the railway station. Than you very much for your help!

You can only get a gold card if you buy an annual (One Year) season ticket

correct- however OP may be interested in a Network Railcard which gives the same discount (except that a minimum fare applies on weekdays), or if aged under 26, a 16-25 Railcard which also gives 34% off, nationwide i this case. Both are £28 (ish).

Railcards don't give a discount on Season tickets.

As your office if they have a corporate travel scheme, which may save you money on a gold card, and allow you to pay monthly through your salary.

Great! I'll try to get a Gold Card or a Network Railcard and I'll ask my company if they have a corporate travel scheme.
Thank you so much everyone, you're very kind!
