Season tickets are based on the cost of five day returns for people
commuting *towards* London... if you are commuting *away* from London, day
returns should be cheaper. I'd imagine that a tube season for Zone 3 and day
returns from Tottenham Hale to Ware may be the cheapest option.

£8.50 * 22 = £187 + £44 PAYG = £231 is still lots more than the cheapest
(but weird) combination I found above

Okay, sorry, I don't know which site you're using so can't check my
suggestions.
I think you should also check
* Travelcard season 3-5 + day returns Brimsdown to Ware
* Travelcard season 3-5 + day returns Brimsdown to Hertford East.

I have a suspicion that using these tickets require that the train stops at
Brimsdown, but she is unlikely to have to actually take her bum off the
seat. The trains will be nearly empty anyway, if my experience of commuting
out to Hertford *North* some years ago is anything to go by.

Just the National Rail site.

Will do, ta.

Brimsdown,

Not an issue - they all do.

Of course - Oyster seasons, I guess they're still not required to touch
out. I wasn't thinking straight before.

Quite likely!
