Hi - I'm not as used to local travel in London area as I once was so would welcome a 2nd opinion!
Am I correct to think in the following example for: 2 people, tickets bought with 2 together railcard, are cheaper than using Oyster PAYG?
weekday, circa 17.00 departure, St Pancras to Sidcup not using the underground. Single Journey.
Oyster PAYG: 2x£5.30 peak single fare = £10.60 (no railcard discount with 2 together on Oyster fares)
vs
Railcard: ((2x£6.60) - 34% railcard discount) = £8.70
BUT
off peak the reverse would be true:
Railcard: ((2x£6.60) - 34% railcard discount) = £8.70 (fare the same as no off peak fare)
vs
Oyster PAYG: 2x£3.50 off peak single fare = £7 (no railcard discount with 2 together)
Thanks
