[edit] Monthly
How long is a monthly card valid for? 28/30/31 days? Or till the same day of the next month? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.86.9.206 (talk) 07:40, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Performance Discounts
It is a few years since I worked in a ticket office, but as I recall, performance discounts are based not on the company which issued the ticket, but rather that company which was listed as the main charge for the particular route. For example, a season ticket for journeys from Welwyn Garden City to the city would be recorded as a First Capital Connect route, and so it would be that company which would be used to judge performance discounts, rather than the issuing company (which after all, could be any - a ticket issued at Gatwick for that route would be issued by Gatwick Express, whose performance thereafter would be academic). I presume this hasn't change, but perhaps somebody more up-to-date with such things could confirm? Tafkam (talk) 16:42, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Out-boundary
I removed the note altogether about out-boundary travelcards ceasing to valid on leaving London. We need to say something authoritively one way or the other. MRSC • Talk 07:03, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
- I don't think there's anything wrong with saying it isn't clear or isn't mentioned, if that is indeed the case. I'm going to try some less terse wording offering a wider view of the issue. --Mr Thant (talk) 13:59, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Combining Travelcards & Season Tickets
I'm not certain that the referencing for this section is sufficient, as I'm looking into this myself and I can find no such exception for Travelcards in the NRCOC. In my experience people seem to be using it legitimately (ticket offices + inspectors seem to allow it), but I can find no basis for this in the document. It says that you can combine a season and a non-season (with seasons sold by PTEs and local authorities not counting as seasons for this purpose), but as travelcards ARE season tickets, and TfL aren't a PTE, this disallows combining them. The other exceptions are for stations at which the train stops, and both tickets being zonal (which a NR season isn't unless it has a travelcard component to it), neither of whcih covers the situtation of a P2P season to a zone 6 station + a zone 1-6 Travelcard.
There has to be something I'm getting wrong in there, and a citation from the NRCOC would be appreciated for both me and the article, but that's how it reads to me.

- Maybe it's me, but your statement doesn't seem very clear- exactly which bit of the article are you querying? Tafkam (talk) 18:01, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
- The section you're referring to is meant to be about the exception for combining a season Travelcard with a non-season P2P. It's not meant to imply that combining two seasons is allowed, which it isn't. I've amended the wording slightly. --Mr Thant (talk) 21:08, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
