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.

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.

Originally posted by jayjay69 View PostThanks for all the input , train will be the way to go !

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.
