please can anybody let me know if i can use a PRIV on the london underground to get a discounted rate ticket thank you
Are you protected (ex-BR) or TOC New Entrant? If you hold a TOCNE PRIV you don't get PRIV travel on LU.
You can also apply for a PRIV (Leisure) Oystercard though there seems to be a right palava in getting one.
BUT only ex BR staff can get them right?
BUT only ex BR staff can get them right?
So to condense all that.......
- If you are ex-BR staff (safeguarded) yes you can get discounted travel on LUL services.
- If you are not ex-BR staff and work for FCC you can get discounted Oyster travel on LUL.
- If you neither ex-BR, FCC or Network Rail staff, you cannot get discounted tickets with LUL origins and destinations, but you can use LUL services for cross London connections during National Rail journeys.
To add to that, East Coast and Eurostar staff also get the TfL only PTAC. This is in exchange for certain benefits such as Priv rate season tickets and specially discounted tickets.
So if I turn up at an LU station where do I go to get a priv ticket?
Can I get them from a machine?
If you are safeguarded re. travel facilities then just show your box card to the clerk & ask for a priv. ticket. I think........
Are there any Ticket office clerks anymore?

Probably - am sure someone on here can outline the details. AllI know is that they exist. I gave up as I couldn't get the required grade of manager to countersign the form.
LUL/ATOC Form 90051 said:All applications must include the employees company and the name and signature of his/her employing manager
For staff members happy to fare-evade, PRIV tickets can be sold between London Terminals and Zone U1* Londn...
Ticket office staff still exist at the vast majority of Tube stations, yes... (a handful of the much smaller ones may periodically not have staff available).
What a silly post, no decent Booking Office Clerk is going to sell one of those to non-safeguarded staff!

Can anyone confirm if Goahead group staff will get the FCC discount oyster perk?
Many staff on the forum mention being let off entirely for fares by guards. I am not railway staff, but would imagine anyone willing to do that would be a good bet to buy such a ticket from
