FIP Discount on Oyster Card

[alex_b_24]

Hi,
I'm from Austria and going to travel to London soon.
I've an 50% FIP-Discount card and wanted to know if there's a possibility to get this discount applied/saved to my oyster card*.
I searched the internet but can't find anything regarding this topic.

If this is possible, where can I get this applied?


I thank everyone in advance for their hopefully helpful answers!


*I know it'd be only applied on Overground/National Rail services and not the tube/other modes.

Unfortunately, it's not possible to get an FIP discount on Oyster. Whilst there is a "National Rail only" discount available (which is what non-safeguarded i.e. post-1996 British staff get) this is not something which FIP card holders are eligible for.

FIP coupons are valid on all National Rail services, which includes TfL Rail/Elizabeth Line/Crossrail and London Overground - but not on the London Underground. You can alternatively get an FIP discount on single and return tickets, which can be used on the Underground or DLR if valid for a cross-London transfer (indicated by the Maltese cross symbol ✠).

You can look up what fares are available with an FIP discount on the BR Fares website (use discount code FIP). RSTL, the body which organises rail staff travel facilities here in Britain, also publishes a guide for visitors which you may find useful
