Recently, a helpful member of LU staff showed me their internal magazine that stated that a Two-Together Railcard cannot be added to an Oyster card, but can be used to purchase a Travelcard at 34% off.
However, when, on Saturday, I went to a machine to buy a One-Day Travelcard with Railcard, the Two-Together card is not offered as an option. Clearly, LU have not updated their self-service ticketing systems to cope with the new card.
I nearly always arrive into London via Euston, and the ticket window queues there are usually lengthy, so I'd really like to be able to get my Travelcard from the machines.
My first question is, can I just select any railcard - does the railcard type actually print on the ticket or get encoded in the magnetic strip. (Needless to say, there are the two of us travelling, so I would be buying two tickets.)
Secondly, if there is a way to get this Travelcard at a machine, can I use the Oyster only machine (that has shorter queues) and have it added to my Oyster card (and thus charged to my auto-top-up credit card)?
