I was assuming that his/her workplace wasn't at Euston and therefore
would be requiring a travelcard. But the "2265 I think. About another
400 with Z1-6 as well." seems about £100 cheaper. I couldn't find any
documentation about adding a Z1-6 onto a season ticket though...

I think you have to select travelcard (at least on thetrainline website
- but this is a work branded version and I can't see how to login from
home to check - I can't remember the URL)

But I'm not using a season ticket any more. For me It's much cheaper to
use PAYG, but I pretty much always travel before 7am and after 7pm and,
baring exceptional circumstances, always at least one of those.
233*8.5=1980.5 233*6=1398.

Obviously problems like yesterday's where I arrived at the station, gave
up after about half an hour and came home[1] (cost 1.00) and did some
work from home then went back once the trains were running again
(another 5.50) mess up my calculations a bit.

[1] I gave up at the point that they started "detraining" the virgin
train (May have been more than one). I realized that even when the
trains eventually started running again I wasn't going to be able to get
onto the first few (I had my Brompton with me and that makes it pretty
much impossible to squeeze onto an already packed train)
