1. It was only thanks to this group that I was aware of the (senior)
railcard discount at all.
2. The discount was loaded first time at Paddington (Bakerloo) and
second
time at Liverpool Street without problem.
3. Although I was asked to show my railcard, no mention was made on
either
occasion that this discount was not forever, so this is something
that
staff need to mention to customers
4. Again thanks to a recent post to this group I now know the
discount has
to be reloaded whenever the railcard expires. [...]

I just picked up the latest Senior Railcard leaflet "valid up to and
including 23 May 2010" and it mentions the Oyster loading and gives the

One additional item unknown to me was "you can now get a discount on a
London Zones 1-6 *Anytime* Travelcard when bought as part of your
ticket to London (subject to a minimum fare).

The (subject to a minimum fare) also appears with the "discount on a
London Zones 1-6 Off-Peak Travelcard" item where it is nonsensical so
perhaps a carry over from the Network South-East card leaflet.

They also emailed me a reminder to renew and

adds "load at a Tube station"

and

actually mentions boundary zone tickets.
