Hi All
I wonder if you can help me again with a fare query for one of my colleagues.
My colleague recently moved near to Broxbourne and she commutes every weekday from Broxbourne to Liverpool St. For this she pays the £15.70 Anytime return fare daily through her Oyster PAYG.
She sometimes spend a day or two in the week staying with her BF.
She has looked at getting a season but, bizarrely, it's not cost effective for her (a 7 day season is £87-odd but her 5 day commute costs £78-odd at the most, same applies to the monthly - she is never likely to use the train to do this route at a weekend or anything) and she likes the flexibility that PAYG affords her.
Now, to my question. She is only 22, so, am I right in saying that she can purchase a 16-25 Railcard, get it loaded onto her Oyster and as the min spend between 04:30 and 10:00 is £12.00 it will bring her daily fare down from £15.70 to £12.00 and that she can save cash this way? or am I way off as I think I read somewhere that the 16-25 railcard on Oyster will only apply a discount to LU and DLR services?
Thanks in advance
