Technically Ex-BR staff get 75% discount on season tickets and 50%
discount
on turn-up-and-travel tickets.


Not correct, 'safeguarded' staff (i.e. ex-BR) have always got 75%
discount from all standard tube fares, such as singles and returns,
and the same for seasons - although these have to be ordered in
advance with a special form from your TOC. No discounts on bus tickets
though, as previous posters have mentioned.


Upon what do you base this assumption? I'm sitting here reading my
"Welcome
to Network South East" (1994) literature telling me what my travel
concessions are and it says 75% discount on tube seasons and 50%
discount
for daily fares. Where did you read your information?

I vaguely recall there being something about BR staff being charged child
rate on LU services if they didn't have a 'proper priv', although I feel
this was not implemented. Perhaps this was what the literature was based
upon?





I can't comment on my possible misunderstanding. Except to say it happens
all the time! Regardless, I have official documentation saying one thing
and I'd like to know where the other poster got his information from - which
seems to contradict my information.

When I travel on the tube I usually get a ticket that says PRIV in the top
followed by 50% followed by the amount I've paid but sometimes exactly the
same ticket but with 75% on the card. Isn't there any LUL ticket people
here who can say what they give to BR employees and why?
