2. I am a full-time university student, and when I discovered that
I could get ahold of a Student Photocard and use that to get
discounts, I acquired one. The problem is, I don't know how to use
it! Is there a place where I can read about how to use a Student
Photocard? (This one is the green variety with the "Student" label
and it has an XA prefix, if that means anything).

Go to a tube ticket office and ask for a student monthly LT card or
whatever sort of ticket it is you want.

Is it really that easy? I tried showing it at the Richmond ticket office
one time and was informed that I coudln't use it. All I have to do is present
it at the window and I'll get a Photocard-required ticket that costs 30% less?

That was probably because the Student Photocard will only give you a
discounted LT Travelcard which isn't valid for NR (with a few exceptions
recently discussed here)

Perhaps. I didn't explicitly ask for an LT monthly travelcard, so the woman
behind the counter probably thought I wanted to use NR or SWT services. Thanks
for the clarification.

I also found the Oystercard web site. I'll have a look around there before
reviving this thread, if necessary. Thanks for the assistance everyone!

However, from January the student travelcard WILL be valid on most NR
services inside the appropriate zone! :-) (see earlier threads on this
group for details)

Great! I'll have to check the groups for more info. Thanks for the tip!
