Network cards are strictly "after 10am", whereas the Senior Railcard
is "off-peak {may vary locally}"[1], and the F&F/TTG/Disabled
Railcard is "After 9.30am".

There are no restrictions on when the discount for a Disabled railcard
applies.

If true, it makes it even stranger that TfL are refusing to
differentiate between different railcards when applying discounts.


We are assuming that the railcard number, which is recorded against the
card, doesn't make the railcard type clear.

But isn't the key thing about the Oyster card system is that it is
somewhat disconnected - ie it doesn't rely on a backend query to be
able to do anything?


The number is recorded on the Oyster card.
