Network railcard

[Cundy66]

If I travel from Bedford to London 6 zones and meet a friend at West Hampstead Thameslink.

Would I be able to get a friend travelling with me at a later stop a West Hampstead Thameslink to London 6 zones ticket if I was to meet them outside the station.

Or do I need the tickets from same station?

Thanks

You could, but no discount would apply unless it was the weekend or a public holiday, as an "in-boundary" Off-Peak Day Travelcard is £12.10, which is below the £13 Network Railcard minimum fare.

It would be a weekend. I just didn't know if all tickets had to start from same origin or just as long as the person is with railcard holder.

AIUI they don't - but they may not be allowed through the barrier without you, so you may need to break your journey to collect them.

Thank you I'll ensure I do that both ways

Yes, sensible on the return as well to ensure they are not caught at the barrier for "travelling without a valid Railcard" - they need to be able to present it until they are out of the system.
