Default Cheapest rail + tube season ticket option question

Holidays."


Well... if I'd read this before my other post. Seems that they
already do do such a season ticket.

But only for certain journeys - there's a Flexitime season for
Brimsdown to Hertford East, as mentioned, but not for Brimsdown to
Ware, or Tottenham Hale to Hertford East, or Hertford East to R3456.
This seems very odd.

The other odd thing I found is that tickets from the Hertford North line
(e.g. Palmers Green) into Hertford North are massively cheaper than
those on the Hertford East line. I wonder why this is (The other plan
was to live in Palmers Green or Ally Pally and then cycle across from
Hertford North to Ware.)
