From 6th January 2004 I've heard that ULU has negotiated that the student card will give a discount to national rail services in London. That's news to me. What's your source? I will check with my nearest friendly ULU officer in the next couple of days, see what I can come up with. This was announced by the mayor a short while ago, although now I can't find it on his website!??? |

At least this time someone different's taking the credit - when the LT student discount first came in, the NUS (who had done absolutely bugger all towards the campaign) took all the credit. Mind you, if the ULU President then was as unaware/seemingly incompetent as the incumbent... Chris Piper is quoted as saying "this is something that ULU has been campaigning for over the last two years" -- actually, ULU has been bitching at ATOC ever since the LT discount came in - and that was in 1998!!! -- James Farrar | London, SE13 | |
