    If you are eligible for a railcard, contactless will charge full fare.  Oyster cards can be linked to railcards to discount the fares.  You need to to ask staff by tickert machines to do this for you.

    A child on a contactless debit/credit card will pay full fare. If you get an oyster at an underground station the staff can add child visitor to it for half price fares.
