I don't believe this has it's own thread yet.
The flexible season tickets can be used for two or three days per week to fit with a phased return to full time office working - and are set to save commuters several hundreds of pounds.

I suspect the following outcomes may result (based on 7day tickets):
- TOCs will see a significant reduction in people paying full price for 7day/week+ season tickets (compared to pre-covid).
- People who were too far away to commute a 5day week may accept longer journeys but only commute a 2day or 3day week.
- People who used to only commute 2/3 days a week by car and baulked at the price of 7day/week+ rail season tickets, may now choose to travel by rail.
- I suspect the price point for a 2of7 ticket will be approximately 45% of a 7day ticket and a 3of7 ticket around 65% of a 7day ticket.
This type of ticket has been requested for many years and it will finally become a reality this year. I'm interested to see how it will be implemented and what price points are offered.
