What do they do about the charter refund? WAGN told me the only way you are
entitled to the charter discount is if the ticket is identical. I was
thinking of cutting back R3456 as I don't ever use the travelcard in these
zones as I work in Z2. It's about £370 a year for no good reason (or £170 if
I don't get the discount).

An administration fee is hardly cheeky. It could be argued that they are
being generous in giving any refund at all. If I take a half-eaten sandwich
I no longer want back to M&S I don't get a partial refund.

Thanks for straightening this out, shame it's not to my advantage!

I don't really understand why a ticket for the same TOC where the zonal
(other TOC/TFL) validity changes doesn't attract the discount, especially
since it's supposedly compensating me for poor service that I've already had
to put up with (uncompensated at the time). I have no other way of claiming,
and if my circumstances change I won't get any compensation :(

The discount on WAGN was 14% last year and 7% this year, it's more than
generous that it is also off the zonal part of the ticket, but if I do as
planned and drop zones 3-6 off the ticket and don't get the discount, it'll
cost me £200.

Dave

Indeed, you can't take petrol back to the garage after you put it in your
tank can you?
