Hi guys
I've been using my pay as you go Oyster this past week (with a 16-25 railcard discount applied) thinking that it caps at either ~£5 or ~£8 (depending on peak or not peak) - surprised when I saw that the daily charges were around £10-12 (and £15 when I didn't touch out properly). Is that normal?
My journey (at the most) is:
bus to Feltham (FEL) railway station
National rail to London Waterloo (WAT)
Underground to Oxford Circus (no changes)
and the same in reverse, usually within both of the peak periods.
Has my railcard been applied properly to the oyster, or is this sort of price expected for peak travel?
As I travel 5 days a week (can be any 5 of the 7, weekends included) would it be cheaper to load a 7 Day travelcard onto my pay and go Oyster? I was about to (as the price was £53) but the confirmation said that "your products will be available from 16/07 to 18/07", which confused me - or does that mean that I need to activate it during that period?
It said that I don't receive Railcard discount if I apply it online - but it seemed to be same price with Railcard applied (in the pricecap table); would it be better to purchase from an underground station to apply my 16-25 railcard (and would I need to do this every time I needed to buy a 7-day travelcard)?
Many thanks!
