What is the point of season tickets where you must "avoid London terminals"?

Mature students can get a 16-25 Railcard. But check the restrictions and minimum spend - it may not be much use for your commute

Haha sadly I'm well over that age bracket!

Yes, but even so you may still be eligible

Hmmm I'll have to look into this. I'm doing a doctorate so not sure if I'd qualify as I think t may technically count as distance learning. Definitely worth a try though, I'm sure someone on my course will know!

Tram from East Croydon to Beckenham Junction, then get the Victoria train that stops at Brixton?

Or the university might be worth a try.  You can't be the first person in this situation.

I actually had all my enrolment info through and my course is part-time so not eligible for the Railcard but was worth looking into!

Thanks all I think I've worked out that I can get a flexi ticket from mine to Clapham and then get the bus/cycle the rest. Appreciate everyone's input as it stopped me making a few expensive mistakes and some ideas for other routes!
