Hello
I was passing through Finchley road and Frognal station yesterday and noticed a flyer on the window which said 'we'll save you money'. It had pictures of some railcards (including one for the army) and an Oyster cards. I spoke to the ticket office guy and he said that if you have any of these railcards then he can set a discount so that you can save money when using Oyster.
I have a 16-25 railcard and my Oyster so I just handed both to him and he did it within a minute.
I asked him if this was something new, as no one had ever mentioned this before, and I've had a railcard since I was a student and I've used oyster for more than two years now. But he said it wasn't anything new but it just wasn't advertised very well.
He said that the Overground manager had organised the flyers for ticket offices and all staff had been told to tell people about this discount whenever they buy a railcard or a new Oyster card.
I forgot to take a picture of the flyer but if I hadn't have seen it I wouldn't have known.
What does everyone else think, there must be lots of people who don't know. I'm not going back to Finchley road and Frognal so maybe someone could take a picture of this flyer so that people can look out for it?
