Cannot purchase London 1-6 travelcard from Feltham?

[hawaii2468]

I just tried to purchase a London 1-6 day travelcard from Feltham online( I have tried both southwest train and virgin trains websites), can't buy the super off peak day travelcard for tomorrow(sunday) just because the option for outward trip can't be clicked. Do anyone know the reason for this?

Is there a Super Off-Peak Day Travelcard from Feltham? I didn't think the "Super" version exists at that proximity to London, or from within the Zones?

Sorry, I do mean off peak. Yes, that's what I was looking for but I can't work out why this ticket wasn't available in other websites especially the southwest trains? Can I just buy it in the ticket machine while I am not in feltham?

I dont think they do exist, its only Peak and Off Peak for journeys wholly within London

I think its only available from the station. I dont think there is any point to pre-purchasing the ticket in this case since you have to go to the machine anyway to pick it up and Feltham is in zone 6 so it should be one of the first options you will be offered.

I should have make it clear. I just tried southwest trains again and it's available now without using the network railcard. I wonder is it true that the network railcard is not applicable on the within Zone tickets?

 

[Ivo]

Ah. That explains a lot. The Network Railcard is subjected to a minimum fare (either £12 or £13 I think), which the ODT from Feltham does not meet, making its use invalid. (I've heard nothing to suggest it is invalid in the Zones otherwise though; surely that would be daft?)

Sorry.

 

[hawaii2468]

But the minimum fare of £13 is not applicable on weekends or public holidays.

Sorry.

The minimum fare only applies to Mon-Fri travel. The minimum for weekends and bank holidays is £5.30.

Which hasn't been updated since the price rose at the beginning of the month. It's now £5.60. If you really want to buy online beforehand then you can use a WebTIS site like Southeastern. Just enter the railcard details and it will offer the discounted price.

is this a new rule for the network railcard? This wasn't a minimum fare at weekends and public holidays at all last year. I used to buy £1.9 tickets with my network railcard.

The minimum is applicable to Travelcards, not sure about singles and returns

To clarify, during the week a minimum fare of £13.00 applies to all tickets bought with a Network Railcard.
At weekends and public holidays, there is a minimum fare for Travelcards only of £5.60. All other tickets can have the full 33% discount applied, ie your £1.90 discounted ticket is available.
