I don't know if I hold the wrinklies record on here (I'm 57) but I was amused to see that the Railcard that I will be able to get in 3 years time will give me a 30% discount on the Heathrow Express to work on Monday mornings.

You'll be able to get the bus for free too.

That's good. Does that 30% work on the First Class fares too?

I thought everyone on here was younger than me!

Nice to see today that Boris is granting free travel on the London transport system for all War pensioners under 60. The Tories have always been far more patriotic than Labour !!

When I was doing my mba a couple of years ago, I was really disappointed to find out that the student railcard is now the "young person's" railcard, so I couldn't get one.

I was really looking forward to pitching up at the local train station and saying "first class season ticket to Canary Whary on this please"

At the risk of casting aspersions, Zeity must be in the same age-band. I can't remember exactly, but in space lizard years, it's a lot.

Don't feel too disappointed.

Student/young person's railcards (they changed while I was one) never worked in first class. I don't think they worked with season tickets either, certainly not peak-time commuter ones.

Guess who contracted his way through uni in the 90s?

I suppose that gives me something to look forward to.

I still haven't come to terms with the fact that I can't get a "young person's railcard" any more because I am not a "young person" any more. And that has been a decade......
