Railcard for PALACE

Easy 10 · May 10, 2013

OK, so here's the deal. I'm knocking off work early and mincing down to Haywards Heath station to get the 14.13 up to Victoria, whereupon I intend to wile away the remainder of the afternoon liquidising my assets, before boarding a train back to Bonfire Central for some match thats going off tonight.

Is an "Off-Peak Travelcard" going to suffice ? Bearing in mind I'm going to be travelling a couple of stops back to Thornton Heath during what would probably be termed as a peak time, I'm guessing this won't be an option...Shall I just get a straightforward return to Vicky ?

I prostrate myself before the train gurus of NSC for advice, and humbly offer my thanks in advance.

I thought Off Peak was valid for any train not arriving at a London terminal before 9.30am. If I'm right, you should be fine.

Thornton Heath is Zone 4, so I think you will be OK anytime. Off-peak only has a restriction travelling up in the mornings too.

That's also what I thought.

God I love this place. Thanks chaps.

Easy 10 -

Don't listen to Simster for gawd's sake. The bloke's clueless.

I reckon that if the collective wisdom of NSC went on Mastermind, it's chosen specialist subject would be 'Train Travel', above even BHAFC.

Yup says valid from 9.30 here.

Off-Peak Day Travelcards are valid for travel from 09:30 Monday to Friday, any time at weekends and on public holidays, and until 04:29 the following morning

As for the Super Off-Peak you can't use it between 16:15 and 19:15, although it's unclear if that's just on the trains or on TFL services as well.

The Large One · May 10, 2013

Isn't it the case that during weekdays the minimum fare using your Travelcard is £13.00?

You can use it any time in the London 1-6 Zones which is what Easy 11 wants to do

Only if you buy it using a Network card not any other railcard

That's what I'd assumed, good to have the confirmation

Djmiles · May 10, 2013

Yup the only peak time is if you change or end your journey in London before 10am on a weekday.
