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

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.

The nearest newsagents is a long way from my Univeristy in Roehampton
Lane.

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.
