London underground travel with SW staff travel card

[Benedict]

Hi, what's the best way to purchase underground tickets please? Can we use our 75%off for an Oyster card? Or is it possible to use one of the ten free journeys per year for first group TOC? Thanking you

Are you Safeguarded? Non-Safeguarded staff are not entitled to Priv rate travel on London Underground only tickets, except for certain staff employed by LNER (East Coast), GTR and Eurostar, as well as children of active LU/TfL staff. If you however are buying a single/return ticket for a National Rail journey that requires you to cross London via the Underground (for instance a journey from Surbiton to Stevenage), then you can use your 75% discount for this.

If you are Safeguarded, then the best option for ad-hoc trips is to have the discount added to your Oyster card. This is done by completion and authorisation of a form available from Rail Staff Travel (https://www.raildeliverygroup.com/rst/travel-on-tfl.html), with the discount added to your Oyster card by LUL staff on presentation of this authority.

Some SWR railway staff were/are entitled to a bearer pass for duty related travel between Wimbledon and Wimbledon park To access the depot not exactly a great perk but there you go.
