Not allowing delays it's 10 mins drive to station ( free parking in the back street nearby which has no yellow lines or parking zones ) 50 mins down on train and 6 mins walk to client.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

Originally posted by Old Greg View PostOption 1. Don't kill yourself to make a bit back on the mileage rate. By the way, a 110 per week ticket should convert to less than 520 per month. You can usually slightly game the system by getting 'odd period' season ticket, so on Monday 25 June, instead of a one month card that will take you to Tuesday 24 July, get an odd period ticket to Friday 27 July. Then get a new one from Monday 30 July to Friday 31 August.
Is this available on all train lines? I currently take the Great Northern into London.Comment

Originally posted by madame SasGuru View PostYes - it's not known about because it's not advertised but you can get any period you want provided its longer than a week. It was always an option but wasn't generally advertised as it meant a 2 minute transaction took 10 minutes as they worked out the charge.
Handy as well when you have a holiday planned ahead so you can get a 43 day ticket before going on holiday for a week.Comment
