Saw an LUL employee in full uniform getting onto a Chiltern service at Solihull. Anyone aware of LUL employees travelling further than this for work?

I thought all staff got 75% off a season on tfl?
I've seen a few down here in Brighton and Eastbourne.
There are several who commute from Aylesbury and Milton Keynes. I've seen at least one from Coventry and one from Leamington Spa.
Yes, non-safeguarded staff are entitled to this on annual seasons, but with the exception of seasons for First Capital Connect and East Coast Trains (which are valid on the respective companies' trains only), this benefit is taxable so in reality works out at a bit less than 75% discount.
Safeguarded staff get a PTAC which offers the same 75% discount as the Staff Travel Card issued to safeguarded BR staff.
I know a supervisor at Baker St who comes in from Peterborough.
Well, Aylesbury for one as you've said!Does anyone know the furthest place outside of Greater London that has staff taxis?
What's PTAC? Out of curiosity if you work for a TOC do you get discounted travel nationwide?
I'm not sure what the relevance of this is in a thread about travel concessions that LU and TfL staff are entitled to, but East Coast staff are also now being issued with yellow 'TfL Rail Only' PTACs for Pay As You Go travel.Also note that all FCC staff no matter length of service also get a PTAC as well indeed they are currently the only TOC serving London that I'm aware of which has this agreement with TfL to do so.
