you get 7day and longer travelcards at the "discount" rate although

if
you buy an annual "discount" travelcard you don't get the gold card
benefits

2) The University of Roehampton is not really a university it's a
renamed teaching college


1) Yes you can as of this year. It's an all zone £4.80 with a young
persons railcard being shown

2) Actaully smartarse, It used to be Roehampton Instutute, but as of
around 2000 it has University status. I do a computer programing
course. A seperate cambus from the teaching section. so Shhh

There isn't a University of Roehampton.

There is Roehampton College, University of Surrey. A glorified
teaching college....

If you're seriously studying programming, then all I can say is it's a
bloody good job visual development environments mean that there's no need
to learn syntax and case-sensitivity. Unbelievable.

There's a subtle difference between "minor errors" and functional
illiteracy.

You can stick a day student travelcard onto an oyster card? I didn't
know about this. You certainly can't do this at the top up machines.



I didn't think there was any such thing as a student day travelcard.
Why do you think there is?


All-zones ODTC with a Young Persons Railcard discount.

Surely you don't need to be student to get one of those (unless you
want to buy the Y-P railcard when you are over 26)?

True... but that's what the OP meant.
The YP ODTC (Z1-D) was (last year) the same price as a normal Z1-4
travelcard. Not sure what's happened this year - in another thread
someone reckoned it had been axed.
