Dear all,

My name is Hayley and I am researching for a programme for Radio 4- You
and Yours- about the availability from January 2011 of being able to
register your National Railcard on your Oyster card to get a reduced
rate for your single off-peak travel no matter how you travel (National
Rail, Underground, DLR etc).

I am looking to get a few comments from anyone who has used this new
National Rail scheme? Anyone who wants to share their good or bad
experiences using this new scheme would be very much appreciated.

Also, what are your thoughts on the way this new scheme was publicised?
Do you think it was publicised enough? Do people know enough about it?
Some people I have spoken to did not realise at first that they had to
carry their railcard around with them once they had it linked to the
oyster? Has this happened to you? Has putting both National Rail cards
and Oysters together made travelling too complicated? Maybe national
rail should offer one card once you have linked your railcard to your
oyster?

Have any of you had trouble actually getting your railcard linked to
your oyster? Maybe you live very far away from your station? Or your
station does not offer that service? Or the staff at your station do not
know about the scheme?

Any thoughts on any of these questions would be great!

If you would like to reply you could also email me at:

Thanks for your help. *
