Freedom pass plus senior railcard

[Phil Goodwin]

In a station ticket office, I can easily buy a ticket from London to anywhere which credits both my London Freedom Pass AND my senior railcard. They do it by listing 'London Zone 6' as though it were a station, and only charging from the London Boundary. I can't find any way of doing this with an on-line booking. Any advice please?

You can't do it online, other than by buying a ticket from the last relevant station within zone 6. However, this will restrict you to travelling through that station which may be a problem for some journeys. Also be aware that in some longer distance cases there may not be a saving to be made by buying from a boundary station rather than the London terminal.

https://www.c2c-online.co.uk/ seems to allow Boundary Zone 6 although I’ve not completed the transaction.
[Note the name, it’s not ‘London Zone 6‘ but ‘Boundary Zone 6’]

The Forum’s own ticketing site also sells Boundary Zone fares.

Can you please explain how? I couldn’t use Boundary Zone 6 as an origin so is there some different incantation? Thanks!

Go into Advanced settings and at the bottom there’s an option to say you already hold a Travelcard.

Sorry, but I cannot find any option get into 'Advanced settings' on any of the pages of https://tickets.railforums.co.uk/.
The nearest thing is an option to not have cross-London tickets, not the same thing.

Can you see "existing travelcard held" at the bottom?

Sorry, no. Where is that menu please? If I click on 'Advanced' on the Journey Planner page I get only this - nothing about other operators, etc.
The exact same options come up if I click on 'More options' or 'No cross-London fares'. Is it the browser? I am using Firefox.



Answering my own question: there should be a scroll bar on the right hand side of the menu above to get down to the other options. There is if I use Microsoft Edge. Not there in my version of Firefox!
Sorry to have taken up your time.

No worries How odd. It works fine for me in FireFox.
