You're second paragraph hits the nail right on the head! Railcard
discounted Day Travelcard bought from LU ticket offices give you more
bang for you buck (or more mileage for your money) that if they were
bought from an NR ticket office.

NR ticket offices will sell you a railcard discounted ODTC valid in
zones 1-6 only - this is absolutely *not* valid anywhere in zones A-D.

It is, however, possible for an NR ticket office to issue a discounted
Amersham, Chesham, Watford, Croxley, Chalfont & Latimer, Chorleywood or
Rickmansworth to R1256 Travelcard, all of which have the same validity
as their LU equivalents.

This is an exception to the usual rule regarding the validity of "out
boundary" Travelcards, which normally cease to be valid (except on
participating local bus services) when you return to your origin station.

Just to clarify, is an Amersham to R1256 Travelcard valid to Chesham?

Wouldn't it be a R1256 plus ABCD Travelcard? If so yes, if it's a
point-to-point plus Travelcard it's presumably a Chiltern fare and
thus no.

If issued at Amersham, yes. If issued at an NR Ticket Office then it
*should* be, as the existence of the ticket in question is a kludge so
that NR stations can issue TCs valid to the Met Line "out-boundary"
stations.

Never having had one from an NR office, I couldn't say for certain, but
as they're all the same price (£7.80 undiscounted, £4.80 Railcard), I
don't see why not.

Cheers,

Barry

I agree, a ticket bought at (say) Ponders End with origin Amersham to
R1256, with Railcard discount comes out at gbp4.80, and you say that
should be valid to Chesham as well. So, by that logic a (say)
Streatham Hill to R1256 (Railcard discount) should also be valid to
Amersham and Chesham. Otherwise the Amersham to R1256 becomes a point-
to-point and is only valid for one return trip, and not valid to
Chesham.
