Having seen the horrendousness that is the TFL fares section, I can't
tell if National Rail-railcard discounted paper travelcards are still
available.

My parents (one Senior Citizen railcard-holder and one Disabled
Railcard-holder) are coming for their first trip to London for years. I
don't want to have to educate them in how to use an Oyster card, when
they know that you either show your paper Travelcard to the bus driver
or put it through the gates at the tube station.

Are [there] still National Rail-railcard discounted paper travelcards?


Yes - the current cost of an inboundary zones 1-6 off-peak Day
Travelcard is £5.00 - there's no discount for an inboundary Anytime
(aka Peak) Day Travelcard.

Whilst the TfL fares webpages don't mention the Railcard discount on
Day Travelcards, it should be noted that no previous TfL (or indeed
London Transport) fares publicity in previous years has ever made any
mention of it either.


Thanks to those who have replied.

It was on the old TFL fares section

so that's why I was confused.
