    Given the age range (does the person not know how old they are?) they should look into whether a 16-25 railcard will help to bring the cost down.

    Thanks guys - from what you've told me I can see the best option will be a weekly travelcard plus a season ticket between the Surrey town and the Oyster zone boundary.

    You should be able to get that as one ticket for example if we assume Woking is the town, you could buy a Woking-Zones 3-6 Travelcard

    Also don't forget as travel starts on SWR if your journey is delayed by 15 mins or more then to claim delay repay - in an average week I'd be surprised if you weren't delayed at least twice - and factor that in when working out travel times as you don't want to be consistently late for work!
