£20 (I think that's what I paid .. will check when I get home.)

They work on the same principle as the discount rail card miss Minx, you pay a one opff payment of £20 for a year & it gives you ex amount of discount on tickets to certain areas

I remember (I think it was the 1st smile event) Phil B got the train down from preston to london and it cost him more than it did me to fly from belfast to stanstead And my train fair from stanstead to liverpool street.

 

Work that out

No country sucks harder than the United Kindgon. I'll tell you that for NOWT.

[Guest NeoN]

if they made public transport a lot cheeper , why have a car & that would cut congestion

first class is £111.07 its just a standard one way ticket

 

im not intitled to any discount as im working & over the hill (27) i knew i should have stayed on benefits for the rest of my life

[Guest]

Everyone is entitled, even if you are working. . You don't have to be claiming benefits to get entitlements Although only for young people up to the age of 26 can get a YPR

So are we Lou both working, it is a discount card anyone is entitled to apply for, thats why you pay £20 a year for it, nothing to do with benefits

[Louise]

[Guest]

i have a new deal travel card which gets me half price travel or less because im on new deal getting back into work.

bus is 40p in london

and a train ticket normally costs me £37.00 open month return from lonmdon to nuneaton with it, it is £14.05 as i found out yesterday plus also coaches, buses, rail and air to uk destinations will actually accept it so i defo cant really complain

[Lisa]

Yes your's is a different case altogether Dani & I think that's what Lou was thinking Maria & I had but as we both work, we get a rail discount card but we actually have paid for it

[Guest]

but im jus saying new deal is actually not jus for unemployed but for low wage jobs and single parents i still have one whilst working too
