Do railcard (such as 16-25) discounted tickets for the Reading railair coach need to comply with the £12 minimum fare before 10am?

This doesn't say they do, but I've never tried it so can't be sure. You could try the online ticket purchase and see what happens.

If you're trying to do the journey a bit cheaper, there's quite a lot of buses from Slough to Heathrow - 4 an hour to central, 4 an hour to T5 - these are at (Berkshire) bus fares rather than railair fares...

Even cheaper is the 81 TfL bus at £1.40 Oyster single from Slough to the edge of Heathrow on Bath Road where you can then get any bus to Heathrow for free as it is part of the Freeflow Heathrow scheme. Change at Pinglestone Close for T5, Sipson Way for other terminals.

Thanks both. The information about the Slough bus is very useful, I'll keep it in mind for the future. Because today I am time restricted, I opted for the RailAir instead to get there a bit quicker.

In case anyone needs the answer to this question in the future, I have boarded the RailAir coach this morning on a railcard discounted ticket less than £12 before 10am and nothing was said.

But it's July, therefore no minimum fare on the railcard

or am I missing something?
