    minimum fare that applies to all purchases with a Young Persons Railcard. This is either £8.00 or £16.00 depending on the type of ticket being purchased. Most will be £8.00, but the following ticket types have a minimum fare of £16.00: Standard Day Returns, Standard Open Returns, European Open Returns.

    For example: If an undiscounted Single ticket costs £8.50 and the normal 1/3 discount makes the fare £5.60, you will have to pay the minimum fare of £8.00.

    As my early Monday journeys are £6.60, i might as well buy a normal ticket,
    So for me im not really saving at all but it might benefit others.

    Also worth pointing out, from what I recall, that time restrictions are scrapped throughout July and August as well .. so you can travel before 10am without any worry.

    I assume this is still the case, anyway.

    Does anyone know if you can get a network break or saver ticket and still travel on weekdays before 10?
