Default Staff passes on the Overground

The intranet says that all staff passes in their various forms will be
valid all over the overground after 11/11/2007. That seems a bit
sudden - I mean there was no warning about it. It's good news, but I
would like confirmation.


We've already had a long thread on this issue a couple of weeks ago.

The notice says that TfL Staff and Dependent and Retired passes are
valid on the new Overground concession - i.e. the North London Railway
services comprising the following.

Barking - Gospel Oak.
Stratford - Richmond
Euston - Watford Junction (nothing new here)
Willesden Junction - Clapham Junction.

There is currently a query about whether TfL Staff Passes are valid on
the Southern service between Watford - Harrow &W - Clapham Junction. One
person has said yes and an internal TfL document said no. At present I
have no firm knowledge one way or the other on this point.

There is no extension of TfL staff pass validity to any other
(overground in common parlance) NR line and existing historical staff
pass NR validities remain the same.
