Watford Junction to London Euston
Hi All,
I'm considering moving to Watford, and I just wondered if anyone knew how much an Annual Season Ticket from Watford Junction to London Euston is? Thanks! |

You could always go for an annual Z1-6 on an Oyster, plus a Watford
Junction - Harrow and Wealdstone on top, which is £1,784.00 + £956.00 = £2740.00 Ohwait - that's more expensive... That's my plan out the window! |

I was assuming that his/her workplace wasn't at Euston and therefore
would be requiring a travelcard. But the "2265 I think. About another 400 with Z1-6 as well." seems about £100 cheaper. I couldn't find any documentation about adding a Z1-6 onto a season ticket though... |

I couldn't find any documentation about adding a Z1-6 onto a season ticket though... I think you have to select travelcard (at least on thetrainline website - but this is a work branded version and I can't see how to login from home to check - I can't remember the URL) But I'm not using a season ticket any more. For me It's much cheaper to use PAYG, but I pretty much always travel before 7am and after 7pm and, baring exceptional circumstances, always at least one of those. 233*8.5=1980.5 233*6=1398. Obviously problems like yesterday's where I arrived at the station, gave up after about half an hour and came home[1] (cost 1.00) and did some work from home then went back once the trains were running again (another 5.50) mess up my calculations a bit. [1] I gave up at the point that they started "detraining" the virgin train (May have been more than one). I realized that even when the trains eventually started running again I wasn't going to be able to get onto the first few (I had my Brompton with me and that makes it pretty much impossible to squeeze onto an already packed train) Tim. -- God said, "div D = rho, div B = 0, curl E = - @B/@t, curl H = J + @D/@t," and there was light. http://tjw.hn.org/ http://www.locofungus.btinternet.co.uk/ |

It's 2268 (3404 1st) Watford Junction to London Euston 2604 (3768 1st) including Z1-6 Tim. |

I have to admit that I haven't closely followed the discussions about
Watford Junction, but I understand that you can use PAYG from there, can't you? If that is indeed the case, then can you take a fast train between Euston and Watford Junction, rather than just be restricted to the Overground? |

But if you do your outbound journey after 7am and your return journey before 7pm then it's 12GBP/day and a season ticket is cheaper if you are doing it every (working) day.

What if you are on a weekly ticket, say z1-4, and you have a little extra money for extra-zonal travel? |

For Boundary Z4-Watford Junction your options are (these prices are from Harrow and Wealdstone. The actual BZ4 prices may be different): Pre pay - £ 2.50 peak single/£ 1.00 off peak, no railcard discount Paper ticket - £ 3.00 single, £ 6.00 return, railcard discounts available Paper ticket to Kings Langley - £ 4.30 Single/£ 4.40 Cheap Day Return/£ 7.80 Standard return, railcard discounts available Note that for some journeys the best option will be a railcard discounted cheap day return to Kings Langley...

David For some reason Watford North to London is £2532.00 All Zones. (£3660.00 First). As this ticket journey involves a change at Watford Junction, using the fast trains would be fine anyway. Barry Doe in Rail pointed out some anomalies with Oyster Pay and Go from Watford Junction. Oyster charges from the moment you touch in. I can't recall the exact peak/off peak times so these are examples: if you touch in at 6.55am (off peak), you'll be charged an off peak fare and travel after 7am, on the other hand, if you touch in at 6.55PM (peak) and travel after 7.00PM (off peak) you'll be charged the peak fare. In other words, calculating how much Oyster P&G will be tricky...! |

Presumably you were not be able to use this ticket on the slow train stations outside of Z6. Or maybe you can't use it to enter/exit at Watford Junction. Don't know what the situation would be now there's zones 7,8 and 9. Barry Doe in Rail pointed out some anomalies with Oyster Pay and Go from Watford Junction.

I typically don't catch the 19:04 train because it's short and crowded, but on the one occasion I did catch this train I waited outside the barriers until 19:00 (I got there when the clock was showing 18:58).
