Oyster Prepay and YP railcard

I can buy a paper ticket zone 1-D off peak for £4.80 No. If you are studying at a London University you can get an 'Student Oyster Photocard' that gives you 30% off weekly and longer tickets. It can also hold PAYG balance, but there is no discount. Will this need to be addressed now that the mayor wants all the TOCs in London to accept Oyster PAYG? I'd say it's _incredibly_ unlikely that railcard discounts will feature as part of the Oyster PAYG system, end of story. Oyster PAYG fares are already cheaper than their equivalent cash/paper ticket fares, and it seems highly likely that the Oyster PAYG fare table used on LU will be adopted without any changes on National Rail once TOCs start accepting it (at least for journeys within the six London zones - both Chiltern and c2c are looking to utilise Oyster PAYG for at least part of their routes outside the zones, but how such journeys will be priced is unclear at present). But how hard is it? At the end of the day its all software. 1) The start and end dates of the railcard are programed into the card 2) If the eqivalent of a day travel card is used then apply the discount. Not very difficult for an IT graduate is it. |
