I wonder what the compromise was. Maybe a bit more form the rail operators to TFL for each travel card sold. |

Common sense prevails ! Now let's see a Railcard introduced for everyone like the 16-25 .

Common sense prevails ! Now let's see a Railcard introduced for everyone like the 16-25 . There is one in the south at least - it's called the Network Railcard and covers the old Network South East area. Instead of introducing railcards, why not just reduce fares across the board instead? |

The “Saved” travel card will have a 3% price increase plus any annual price increase on top of that.

I'd agree with that would make me happy if all fares were cut by a third , I still think one of the best transport policies the Tories have implemented has been the £2 fare cap but what about us rail users ? I have a Network Railcard which is very handy on weekends but not much use in the week really , but with a 16-25 and 26-30 (which surely there must be some age discrimination loophole 😂) you get peak discounts which aren't advertised but somewhere in the small print but subject to a minimum fare surely they could make like a UK Railcard for like £150 or something but still keep the usual fares for the people who don't travel often who it wouldn't be worth having it for ? |

So they will give or take just basically adjust the price so there isn't really a discount or not much difference at all then government or our mayor and saviour claims to of saved the travelcard ? |
