Looking for some advice.
Rail worker, PRIV Staff Travel, mom safe guarded.
Will be commuting daily from Southfields (SW London) to Reading.
I am just wondering the best way to do this, can I get a Priv Travel card?!

many thanks

Clarify the question please - are you safeguarded, or is your mother (mom) safeguarded?

sorry that should have been NON safeguarded.

You won't be able to get a Priv rate Travelcard.

You can get a Priv rate season ticket between two National Rail stations - one close to your home and one close to where you work.

For the Underground part of the journey, contactless or Oyster pay as you go is probably your best bet. If you're eligible for any railcards this could bring the price down a bit.

Sorry, didn’t think of that! With some TOCs you can get Priv rate on the underground but if that isn’t possible you’re left with the options outlined above which might mean avoiding underground services is best.

And from Southfields, if cost is a major issue, you may want to consider walking to Putney and having a season from there. It will extend your journey though.
