Evening all.
I was with a friend today at Elstree & Borehamwood. She needed an off peak day return to St Albans. She holds a London Freedom Pass and a Senior Railcard. The ticket office was closed. On initial inspection, the full price was £8.60. The gate line assistant came to the ticket machine to assist and said because the ticket office is closed they would check the price of both a ticket with a Senior Railcard discount and the price with a Freedom Pass (and issue the cheapest). The gate line assistant then issued a child ticket at £4.30 (for a 72yr old). This seemed odd to me. So I wondered:
Is there some 'local Thameslink agreement' to sell tickets to Freedom Pass holders for half fares?
What is the correct price for an Elstree & Borehamwood to St Albans off peak same day return under the above circumstances?
Thanks in advance all.
