How many PTEs have an equivalent of the Network Card? I suppose YP or
Senior Railcard discounts are similar though in the latter case many

None that I can think of have a "loyalty card", though fares are often
highly-subsidised anyway.

Pah! The X5 is an evil attempt by Vermin through their ownership of
thetrainline to abstract traffic from though services operated by
Central Trains.

Nonsense. It's a commercially-operated express bus service that fills
in a very useful gap in the rail service. Where does it meet CT,
anyway? I can't think of anywhere it competes with them.

It does abstract from Bedford-Bletchley, but that's because that's not
a covenient service to many. When (I believe it's now a when) the
Bedford-Bletchley gets extended to MK Central that might well change.
