Paper only - and a photocard is needed too even for a weekly (normal
everywhere else I know but things have changed in London - printed weekly
Travelcards don't now require one even if bought from an NR station).
Courtesy of the power of inertia I've come across a few people who've
shelled out more than they needed to, paying for each days journeys on
Oyster PAYG when a rail-only season would have been cheaper - but they
couldn't quite get it sorted to, er, sort out a photocard.

Thanks. I guessed that might be the case since Google didn't find me
any information. Seems a surprising omission, though.

One other things that's worth noting - all rail-only seasons in Greater
London are priced on a zonal basis, but issued on a point-to-point basis -
so it's worth considering whether one might want to get it issued from a
different origin/ to a different destination so as to get that little bit
extra validity thrown in for when one might find it useful.

Ok, that's useful to know. Does LUL interavailability apply to NR
season tickets? I had been assuming that a season would have the same
availability as a single or return, but looking at the relevent table
in Section L of NFM99 that table claims to only apply to singles and
returns. So is there no interavailability on NR seasons then? I
guess if you want interavailability you buy a travelcard season?
