Well there's a surprise.

From the horse's mouth:

http://www.tube.tfl.gov.uk/content/t...ndtjan2004.pdf

Page 27 - "Holders of valid 'Student' photocards are entitled to buy
'Discount' rate Travelcards, Bus Passess and DLR Flyer/Shuttle period
tickets"

Page 6 - gives details for students.

Page 18 - Discount Travelcards. 30% less than the equivalent full
price Travelcard.

Indeed. Not that i'm complaining; like all public servants, he's
overworked, underpaid, and mismanaged.
