I'm no expert, but am I right in also thinking that having a travelcard
season also allows free use of buses in all zones? That would be an

Yes

And, if you do buy an annual, for the rail bit you can get a Gold Card which
gives 1/3 off most off-peak tickets, plus a network card for a friend for 1
pound.

(Do NXEA give any further Gold Card benefits?)
