Alexikokopops Posted 27 August 2008 Share Posted 27 August 2008 Eight bells is the pub. Does anyone know whether a railcard gets you discount on the tube? No it doesn't. It gets you a discount if you buy a day travel card, unless it's at peak time. It costs £4-something instead of £5-something. They don't have it on some of the machines though, you have to ask the guys at the counters. At least that was the case about six months ago. I haven't bought one for a while because for an extra £3 I can get a return from Reading with an all zone travel card thrown into the mix. Job done.

Monk Posted 27 August 2008 Share Posted 27 August 2008 If you are travelling from Leicester you could get a railcard discount by buying your ticket to Putney station and then the ticket would include the underground journey. I used to do it when travelling from Wimbledon to Leicester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simi Posted 27 August 2008 Author Share Posted 27 August 2008 well the stand holds about 5000 and we're taking 1500so i'm sure we'll find somewhere to stand There will be segregation for what we've not sold, although they'll leave a bit from some sold on the day. They usually use some of that stand for neutrals anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes, if you want to stand you should be able to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simi Posted 27 August 2008 Author Share Posted 27 August 2008 That makes 3!Train back is 23:15 i think is that enough time to get from stadium to St Pancras? Should be ok providing you get on the tube early enough and miss the major crowds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovejoy Posted 27 August 2008 Share Posted 27 August 2008 I am... I don't know if that'll be much consolation but at least there'll be another Fox on there (assuming you're getting the last train back from St Pancras!) I'll be training it down. Also will most likely be on the last one back from SP . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monk Posted 27 August 2008 Share Posted 27 August 2008 Just rang the Fulham ticket office and away end is totally sold out, neutral end is not on sale for the game, so only choice is to sit in the home fans!!!!!!!!

tbf Posted 27 August 2008 Share Posted 27 August 2008 Regarding Discount tube fares: If you have already registered your oyster card online, you can then link your young-persons rail card to it by seeing one of the nice ppl at the ticket desks. They tap in some details to thier computer and it's all done. This gives discounted travel and also caps the maximum day charges to a reduced price day-travel card. I hope this helps, though i fear i may have added to the confusion. In summary: Oyster cards nearly always pay for themselves (£2) after a couple of journeys. You can link them to YP card i you pre-register online and then go to a ticket office. If this is your only trip to London only buy a day travelcard. Avoid single fares like the plague, a single can cost £4 whereas an oyster single can be only £1. Day travel cards are valid past midnight up until the end of service. PS: Boris in his wisdom has banned the consumption of alcohol on London public transport, so if you're going to drink on the tube or whatever, be very subtle about it I realise my summary is mich longer than the main bit but i kept thing of new bits to say.
