so basically it only applies to people starting at an oyster station?muffin_man wrote: »I imagine that provided you get to an Oyster station at some point during the same day to register your discount, the discounted price cap should still apply, including any previous journies that day.

Yes - they will be able to use London's BUSES for free from April. But this registration of Senior Railcard will give benefits with Tube, Rail, DLR & Trams as well as busesOnly until April, Beate. Then all the country's senior citizens will be able to use London's buses for free too (with some restrictions of course - this is England:D ).0 -
I am rather confused as I too have been told by Rail station staff that there is no off peak 3 day travel card rate available though this does NOT correspond with what is stated on the tfl.gov.uk website which clearly indicates tehre is such a card available.... or is it only available at certain stations eg; on the tube?
Advice appreciated....I spoke with TFL again this morning who said YES and no restrictions but with local Rail; station who said NO 3 day off peak available......A return journey within zone 1 costs £8 without Oyster, £3 with.
A day ticket is £6.80 peak, £5.30 off-peak. Oyster will cap at 50p less.
A three day ticket is £17.40 peak, no off-peak fare.0 -
mjon3105, just guessing but does there is no off peak 3 day travel card rate available mean that there is only a full price valid any time 3day travelcard available?
If so, perhaps everybody is right -
a) TFL said YES (it is available) and no restrictions (no restrictions means it is available peak and offpeak, i.e. full price).
b) local Rail station said NO 3 day off peak available (i.e. only the full priced, valid peak and off peak, is available).
c) dzug said a three day ticket is £17.40 peak, no off-peak fare.
As I said, just a guess.0 -

Correct - I registered mine in the middle of the day and the previous journeys were counted towards the cap, not charged separately.
Once it's registered it's on the card for good - you don't need to do it each day.0 -
There is a three day off peak travelcard available - but only for zones 1-6 (£20) - not zones 1-2 where there is only the one price (£17.40) for both peak/off-peak.
Maybe you asked the wrong question. Or they answered the wrong question...0 -
Is anyone else having trouble getting on the tfl website?
I ordered my oyster card yesterday as I am off to London on the 1st Feb. I will arrive at Euston, so can I get my YP railcard attached to my oyster.
I don't want to look like a fool!

Anyone travelling in Zone 1 and 2 London will be better off buying off peak day ticket - Think £5.30 per day - cheaper than 3 day ticket £17.40 for 3 days. Found out when in London couple of weeks back. If anyone has children with them - Younger ages free - 12 year old paid £1 per day.0

Do you have to pay initially to get an Oyster card, before you put credit on it? I'm going to london on sunday til tues. From what I've read it looks like it will work out cheaper to get a day travel pass, prob only zones 1-2, every day. Is that right?0
