Student LT Cards have identical validities to the day ones. AIUI, it's only valid on NR services where the fares are controlled by LUL. It is *not* valid on the Bakerloo (National Rail *or* tube) between somewhere I can't recall and Harrow & Wealdstone, because Silverlink set the fares for that section. Okay, that sort of makes sense of it all. TBH, it seems to be a bit of an anachronism, and could probably do with being abolished in favour of the Peak Day travelcard and normal Travelcard seasons. Yes. I understand that this is impossible because the surface rail operators won't agree; incidentally, they also don't want to give a young person's railcard discount on their seasons (at least, the one i want to buy), as otherwise they could probably just be persuaded that an LT student photocard counts as one (or vice versa). Anyway, whinge whinge etc. tom -- NTK now entirely filled with google links -- NTK |
