How to use your facilities in London
The reciprocal exchange of travel facilities with Transport for London (TfL)
allows holders of Staff Travel Cards to purchase tickets for leisure travel on
London Underground (LUL) and Docklands Light Railway (DLR) services at
priv rate.
The easiest and cheapest way to travel in London is to have the appropriate
Priv All Rail discount set on a registered Oyster card. The applicable priv rate
Oyster fare will be deducted as you travel. If you do not touch in and out at
either end of your journey the maximum Oyster fare will be taken and you
may be liable for a penalty fare or prosecution.
Your Oyster Card with the Priv All Rail discount may be used on TfL bus
services. However, the bus journey will be at the public adult fare.
To get the Priv All Rail discount set on an Oyster card, submit TfL Privilege
Oyster Application Form (XX19). Once authorised by RST, take it together
with your Staff Travel Card and registered Oyster card to a London
Underground station, where a member of staff in the booking hall will set
the priv rate discount on your Oyster card. If your Oyster card isn’t
registered you can do this by creating a TfL online account at
oyster.tfl.gov.uk/oyster. With this account, you can see your journey
history, correct a maximum fare and top up your pay as you go credit online.
The Priv All Rail discount expiry date will match that on your Staff Travel
Card. When you get a new Staff Travel Card, take it to a London Underground
station and get the Priv All Rail discount updated on your Oyster card. You
do not need to contact Rail Staff Travel each year, unless you do not get the
discount set before the expiry date of the Staff Travel Card.
