Hi,

What are people's experiences buying unusual or long distance or
Railcard-discounted tickets at NR stations where the ticket office is
run by LUL? Also, any luck getting Railcard-discounted Day Travelcards
at ordinary LUL stations?


I would imagine anything to do with Day Travelcards is strictly off
limits to a LU station, as they have been binned in favour of Oyster Pre
Pay daily capping surely? So a railcard discount is academic...


You can still buy paper One Day Travelcards from LUL stations and until
every NR station in London is equipped for Oyster they will have to
continue selling them.


Then the only reason I have an Oyster card at all is because some prat in an
LU ticket office at Baker St told me last year they were no longer selling
day travelcards, and if I wanted one I'd have to go to a NR station...

Maybe he'd been too taken in by the Oyster training course...
