I believe it is possible for *any* member of LUL Staff - pre- or
post-1996 - to claim two tickets a year on any National Railways
route. My
AG1 says that it is only for people with priv tickets; I think it's all
staff.
Does anyone have chapter and verse from the rulebook?

This will not be chapter and verse I am afraid. Why don't you ring TfL
Staff Travel at Windsor House as they are the experts?

I believe free ticket entitlement only follows on from having privilege
ticket entitlement. If you joined post 1996 then there is no NR
privilege entitlement and therefore no free ticket allocation.

For those with free ticket entitlement then it is one free ticket a year
up to manager grade and 4 free tickets for business manager and above.
Very senior staff with sufficient long service may also have nice things
like regional passes or all lines passes.

All TfL staff (and dependents) are able to purchase discounted tickets
on Eurostar. This was a separately negotiated deal with no link to NR
entitlement.

Admits to working for London Underground!

I haven't got the original message, but the free ticket was only for
managerial grades. Run of the mill train staff (e.g. drivers, guards (as
they were)) and station staff didn't get them, even though they had priv.
tickets. I believe that you still need to hold a priv ticket to be
eligible, but I'm not 100% certain.
