Gold Card scheme
An earlier post pointed to the tfl t&cs which mentioned, in para 6.6.3,
"You must present the Gold Record Card when you wish to buy a concessionary fare ticket under the terms of the Gold Card scheme." What is this "Gold Card scheme" and where can I find information on "concessionary fare tickets" or any other benefits of owning a Gold Card? TIA -- Fig. |

TIA -- Fig. If you have an Annual Season Ticket for a route in the Network Card area, you automatically get a Gold Card. This offers more or less the same benefits as a Network Card with fewer restrictions. For example, the £10 minimum fare does not apply, you can upgrade to first class at weekends for £1.50 etc. |

So it would appear that, by purchasing an annual travel card, one automatically qualifies for the benefits of owning a 'Network RailCard' [ http://www.railcard.co.uk/ ] This appears to be some kind of scheme for getting discounted rail travel in SE England and would normally cost £20 per year. Am I correct? -- Fig |

What else would you expect from a page that is headed "Gold Card Leisure Beneifts"? -- Bob |

With respect, that page is a usability nightmare. I don't have time to cover it's many faults, nor is this the place to do it. Suffice to say, when I encounter such a disastrous piece of web publishing, I am inclined to lend very little weight to the credibility of it's content. -- Fig |
