Yellow Arrows on Tube Ticket

please tell me what this means, or are all tickets being issued like
this. With a Staff Oyster, havent bought a normal ticket in months!

You've mentioned buying Priv tickets three times this evening. Does that
mean your privileges as a C2C driver extend to your family as well? If so,
how far -- wife, children, grandparents, wife's brother's nephew,... ?

'Safeguarded' National Rail staff (i.e. staff who were at some stage
employed by the old BR) have Priv facilities which extend to their spouse
(or partner of either sex for over 2 years), dependant children and to their
'housekeeper' (e.g. a dependant relative who lives with them).

As well as free and reduced rate travel on all National Rail services (not
just their own company as is the case with newer staff) they also get Priv
rate tickets on LU.

This system also works the other way for LU staff employed before BR stopped
providing train services (i.e. Free on LU, Priv on National Rail).

Staff employed since BR privatisation, be they LUL or TOC, generally get
worse deals than those employed beforehand.

My worry is:
What is a C2C driver doing with a Staff Oyster?

I get my wife and any children until they leave full time education.

Who gets them after that?
