"By linking your railcard to an Oyster card, you can save a third on fares on the Tube, Elizabeth Line, Overground and National Rail in London during off-peak times. To do this, you'll need to order an Oyster card or register yours online if you already have one. Then, you'll need to take both your railcard and Oyster card to a Tube, Overground or Elizabeth Line station and ask a member of staff to link the two."
"The increases were first announced in December, with peak pay-as-you-go fares for Zone 1 journeys set to increase from 2.90 to 3.10. Some good news is that the price of Travelcards paper tickets that offer unlimited travel within specific zones are frozen until 2027. Adult pay-as-you-go caps, which are limits on the total amount you'll pay daily or weekly, also will not rise until next year at the earliest."
London Underground, Overground, DLR, and Elizabeth Line fares are increasing on March 1, with peak pay-as-you-go Zone 1 fares rising from £2.90 to £3.10. However, Travelcard paper tickets remain frozen until 2027, and adult pay-as-you-go caps will not increase until next year. A cost-saving strategy involves linking a railcard to an Oyster card, which automatically provides one-third off off-peak journeys on the Tube, Elizabeth Line, Overground, and National Rail in London. This discount applies only to Oyster card payments, not contactless payments. Railcards are worthwhile investments for frequent travelers, paying for themselves within a few journeys through one-third discounts on most train fares.
