If it's a Season you are buying Jo then it may well make sense buying it dated from, at the latest, Jan 1st.
You will then get it at the pre- RPI▸ +1% fares rise that kicks in on Jan 2nd.
You just need to weigh up (get the calculator out!) whether 1 or 2 days less validity on that Season still represents a saving versus the increased prices valid from Jan 2nd.

Ha Ha.. I think it depends on whether it's a weekly or monthly season ticket to decide if it's worth doing ...I will investigate... As for the calculator.. once you get to my age it's best not to rely on the brain (regardeless of degree  ) |

Hmm. I'm almost inclined to move this topic to 'the lighter side' in view of the general tone ... |

Is there any information about this (potential) "protest"? I've tried signing up for more information; I am amazed AB1 2CD is validated as a postcode. Anyway, any information will be greatly received, I am travelling through Paddington, Waterloo and St. Pancras (Intl) on the 3rd.  |

I think I'll sign up as well, I can't be delayed by any scrums For the purpose of this, do you mind EBrown if I take up residence with you at AB1 2CD? Why do they even want a postcode? So the DM can produce a shocking map showing the location of "frustrated commuters"? PS: Has anyone ordered the "materials". Will it be fares strike tickets? Tempted to order as it's free... (money coming from...?) |

You can come and live with me! I was tempted to see what these materials are but I would rather not give my actual name and address to them. (I don't even know who them is!) |

They won't. Not sufficient time to get up a hed of steam.
As I said, its been trailed as a IM/Twitter/email campaign, and I don't expect that to change at this late stage.

Erm, yes, I'm not stupid, I am studying Computer Science . Thanks anyway; I am more concerned at the fact there is no Data Protection Statement, no clear structure etc. Sorry ChrisB, missed that. If it's just an e-campaign, that doesn't really bother me. Thank-you. |

I've niw read that there's a press call at St Pancras, so I guess something is being arranged there.
