There is then a link to "Check current daily price cap for National
Rail Railcard discounts" at
http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tickets/faresa...ares/6769.aspx
with the full details, including a pricing table.


What this also means for Senior and 16-25 Railcard holders is that they
will only want to but Day Travelcards from Cambridge if travelling outside
zones 1-4 (off-peak). A Day Travelcard costs railcard holders £4.30 more
than a London Terminals Off Peak Day Return. The daily cap is £3.80 for
zones 1-4 but £4.60 for zones 1-5 or 6.

Other TOCs than FCC charge seem to less for Day Travelcards, AIUI (FCC
also charge £4.25 from Bedford). For example NXEA charge £3.00 from
Colchester while SWT charge £3.25 at Off-Peak rate and only £2.70
Super-Off-Peak from Windsor. However, other stations seem to be
inconsistent, e.g. Winchester £4.95 Off-Peak, £2.45 Super-Off-Peak.
