Well I don't know about whether you can change now. But the sums are
fairly simple using the fares on the TfL website. it's £3.50 before
7pm, £2 if you can travel later, so work out how many days a week you
can come home after 7pm and deduct accordingly. Assuming you come home
before 7pm every day then you're looking at £7 a day, or £35 a week on
prepay. Or, approx £455 for 3 months depending on how many working
days there are that quarter. Whereas you've presumably paid £435.60
for your 3 months travelcard.


Don't forget about daily capping, which has a more lenient definition of
off-peak (for most purposes). If your inbound trip is after 9:30 (no, I
don't know if that refers to entry or to exit) [...]


All times refer to entry, i.e. when you touch in. So even if you touch
in at 0659 on a weekday, board your train at 0710, and arrive at your
destination and touch out at 0820, you still pay the cheaper pre-0700
fare for your journey.
