An earlier post pointed to the tfl t&cs which mentioned, in para 6.6.3,
"You must present the Gold Record Card when you wish to buy a
concessionary fare ticket under the terms of the Gold Card scheme."

What is this "Gold Card scheme" and where can I find information on
"concessionary fare tickets" or any other benefits of owning a Gold
Card?

If you have an Annual Season Ticket for a route in the Network Card
area, you automatically get a Gold Card. This offers more or less the
same benefits as a Network Card with fewer restrictions. For example,
the £10 minimum fare does not apply, you can upgrade to first class at
weekends for £1.50 etc.

Ah! So it would appear that, by purchasing an annual travel card, one
automatically qualifies for the benefits of owning a 'Network RailCard'

This appears to be some kind of scheme for getting discounted rail travel
in SE England and would normally cost £20 per year.
Am I correct?
