Well, sort of....

Chiltern are now offering free weekend travel over its whole network
if you buy a season ticket costing more than £150 a month or £1500 a
year. A Z1-6 Travelcard is more than this. Marylebone is the only
station at which this can be issued on Oyster.

It'd be great if the subject heading would actually be possible.

The offer has also be existance for well over a year....

With the emphasis on "well over" - I've been using mine for Birmingham trips
for at least a couple of years. I wouldn't call it an "offer", though, just
a benefit to season ticket holders, the same as the free bus travel on
Arriva buses in the High Wycombe and Aylesbury town areas.

Yes, I was thinking that! ;-)

So every time Oyster gets confused by an OSI, it'd have to charge you
the full cost of an Anytime walk-on fare from London to Birmingham...

No thanks.

Let's get the system more reliable before inflicting it on even more
people.

So what other /benefits/ are on offer if you take the trouble to buy
yur season from a different TOC ?

I take it that SWT is still running their (Goldcard) 5 free
Friday-Sunday SWT network tickets per year.
