Hi

I was hoping someone will be able to confirm that the Youth LT for
students has changed? I ask because my Record Card with my Oystercard
now shows I have a "Discount Travelcard" and when I look at the TfL
site for validity information they no longer mention any restriction
of students from using BR services in London. Previously they have
clearly stated that we could not use BR when it was refereed to as a
"Youth LT".

So I'm guessing I can now use BR services within the zones I have on
my oyster?

That's exactly right. London Underground and National Rail staff
didn't seem very clued up about this change that took place on Jan
4th, but you've got the right information.

Problem now is, my local BR station doesn't have an Oystercard reader
so I guess I don't touch in/out at that station. Is that what other
people are doing?

Yeah, I do that too.
