Hello All,
Maybe someone here can give some guidance to an issue of mine. I travel daily from St. Albans City Station to Shepherd's Bush.
My journey is during peak hours and right now the best method I have found is to travel on the Thameslink Rail from St. Albans City Station to West Hampstead Thameslink and then take the Overground to Shepherd's Bush.
The journey is costing me £20/day (without a railcard which I am hoping to soon get) and is soon to be economically infeasible. I was told I could buy a monthly ticket from Zone 6 to Zone 2 for ~£173 which would get me as close as Elstree & Borehamwood (ELS) but I still need to buy a ticket from ELS to St. Albans.
The monthly ticket works out to about £8.60 per day and a ticket between ELS and St. Albans run at ~£5 per direction, so the whole trip would still cost me about £20 a day.
Is there a cheaper way to make this journey?
I've heard discussions on Boundary Tickets but I can't find any information outlining it. Could I use a boundary ticket to make this trip cheaper?
Any help is appreciated!!
