I would normally hold an annual season ticket for my commute Braintree to London Zones 2-6.
As it looks like any return to work is going to be partial at best, I'm currently trying to work out the most beneficial way for me to commute. Current thinking is that I may well be working in the office one week and the next week at home so an annual season doesn't make sense to me - at least in the short term.
Based on National Rail's website only, if I were to travel out from Braintree at 09:05 an off-peak return to Stratford is £23.60 and I would PAYG the remainder of the journey on the tube. Critically, there seems to be no restrictions on returning home in the peak right now though.
Does anyone know whether peak return restrictions are currently lifted? In normal times, I'm pretty sure an off-peak return would have restricted by return journey to before 1600 or after 1900 so the prices I'm seeing now may not be an accurate reflection once we start to return to normal.
