Perhaps there could be some discussion here of the following facts:

Annual season tickets (called Gold Cards) within the former NSE area provide a discount equivalent to a Network Railcard, without the £10 weekday minimum fare.

Network Railcards can be bought by annual Gold Card holders for friends or relatives for £1. A Gold Card holder may buy one discounted Network Railcard per Gold Card purchased. Pubwebmaster 16:58, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi Pubwebmaster; I am intending to expand this article when I get the chance. The points you mention are covered in my Concessionary fares on the British railway network article, under the "Gold Card and Gold Card Partner's Card" heading. However, I agree that some mention should be made here, ideally with a link back to that article as above. Hassocks5489 17:55, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Update needed

Central Trains no longer exist, but the Birmingham-Stansted service remains. Is this still subject to the exclusion? 217.33.74.203 (talk) 11:50, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

I have updated this. The latest version of the map shows that the Stansted Airport–Ely section (now part of the CrossCountry franchise) is now included. Hassocks5489 (tickets please!) 21:51, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
