Priv tickets are issued via the standard single/return section on the TOM
then the category is changed to priv then we have to look at a table for the
priv rate. So it takes a little longer.

To get priv travel you must be in possession of a Priv Pass otherwise a priv
will not (or should not be issued). One other thing, some staff may ask to
have a closer look as some do exclude London Underground from the facility
(don't know why).

If you are coming in to Kings Cross enjoy the queues upstairs at the
temporary ticket office! :-(

Speaking as railway staff I can say I've never had a problem. It's a
pain
you can't buy them in advance and you've got to go to the ticket window
but
other than that a flash of the pass and there's no problem. They also
usually mis-price it to a 75% priv.

Talking of priv rates on LUL, why is that ticket office staff always have
problems in issuing priv rate extensions? I've had some LUL staff deny
they exist or have great difficulty pushing the right keys. Most of the
ones I buy to go further than my Zone 1 & 2 priv rate annual won't
operate the gates the other end.
