I use national rail only between zones 1-4. I have different start and end stations depending on the day, so standard season ticket with stations specified is no good. Is there such a thing as national rail only travel card to use at any station within defined zones? The regular 1-4 travel cards cover tube, bus etc which I rarely use and is more expensive than using oyster PAYG for my commute.

Thanks

You can use a standard rail season ticket between any stations on your route, for instance my North Dulwich to London Terminals station lets me on and off at East Dulwich, Peckham Rye, QR Peckham, Sth Bermondsey and London Bridge). It costs ?712 a year.


Any South London station to London Terminals season ticket is valid to London Bridge, Blackfriars, Waterloo East, Victoria, Cannon Street, Charing Cross and Vauxhall


So that adds Tulse Hill, Denmark Hill, Elephant and Castle, Brixton and probably quite a few more to my list of allowed stations.


For instance a Wimbledon to London Terminals would add Waterloo to that route and a whole load of permutations.


If you post on this helpful forum they may be able to find you a ticket that would work as it gets a little complex with the routing guides but potential to save you ?572

Which stations to you want to use?

No such thing as a NR zonal ticket, it's a Travelcard or a NR point to point season ticket which allows you to travel to the station on the ticket and intermidiate stations.


Depending on where you wish to travel to, some point to point tickets allow for cross-London transfer on the Underground.

Thanks, both - yes, I thought there may be no such thing. Problem is that the journeys are by different train operators (South eastern and Southern). 4 days a week I travel Kent House-Herne Hill and then North Dulwich-London Bridge and back, so was wondering if there was a cheaper alternative to PAYG

You can use any operator with a point to point season ticket (for instance I can use southern from north Dulwich to Peckham rye, then SouthEastern to Victoria).


A Beckenham junction to London Terminals season ticket is ?1316 and would allow you to make those journeys ( as it allows you to take any train to any south London terminal station apart from Waterloo)


So Kent house to Herne hill is on the route from Beckenham junction to Blackfriars, which is allowed. North Dulwich to London Bridge is on the Beckenham junction to London Bridge service, also permitted.

Even Waterloo, and City Thameslink, according to http://ojp.nationalrail.co.uk/service/seasonticket/search, if you enter Beckenham Junction, London Waterloo, All options. Same price as one from Kent House, and additionally seems to allow travel from Clock House.

    • I know the couple you mean, and she has always been friendly and smiley when delivering to me, but obviously in a hurry, for all the reasons outlined in the thread. My gate is always open, however (unless someone coming to the house closes it when they leave). I can't see the point of gates that have to be opened and shut again every time someone comes to the house. It just seems a waste of time, and it's annoying if you are carrying stuff. And a closed gate  conveys a sort of "my house is my fortress" feel. To me, anyway.
    • Thanks for posting this. Really interesting. It would be good if you added a star rating, so that it was easier to do comparisons / see what your top recommendations are. Great blog though!
    • Hi, Just a quick note to say it's six months since I launched Eats Dulwich. In that time I've reviewed 28 restaurants. Usually four or five a month except for a month when I came down with gout, which I guess is an occupational hazard. Don't say I don't suffer for my art. Early on someone – Sue, I think – asked me what I'm going to do when I've reviewed every restaurant in East Dulwich. I'm nowhere near that point, but what I have found is that a lot of new openings have tended to be in Rye Lane, so the site has expanded to cover SE15, hence the slight change of name (still haven't had any cease and desist letters from anything with a similar name).  Anyway, the site is still free, it would be great if as many readers as possible here can subscribe so that they automatically get new posts (when you try to subscribe the default might be paid subs but that's down to Substack, just tick the free option instead) as I don't post everything on EDF. Obviously you can get reviews elsewhere if you want, but I think this is the only proper site for local East Dulwich people written by a local East Dulwich person. If you like eating out please have a read. And if there are other places you think I should visit please mention them below and i'll do my best to try them.

    • Can you explain what your point was, then? Because it isn't clear to me. No. Perhaps you could provide a link and explain its relevance? That would be helpful     Those figures suggest that over 10,000,000 voters were not "rejecting a far left party."
