Refunds on TFL season tickets
|
|
Whatever Boris says today I imagine a lot of people wont be using their tube season tickets much this year.
As I understand it TFL will back date refunds to when you last used the card as long as you apply within 8 weeks of last using the card.
A lot of people would have abandoned the tube around March 18 so have til about the middle of next week to apply and get the extra couple of months.
Even if people are going to back to work it might be for a couple of days a week if that so a PAYG ticket will make more sense

Refunds for season tickets due to coronavirus
You can apply for a refund if you're self-isolating or not travelling due to concerns about coronavirus.
Travelcard or Bus & Tram Pass season tickets on Oyster
You can apply for a refund if you bought your season ticket from us, and there is at least:
6 weeks remaining on an Annual ticket
7 days remaining on a Monthly ticket
3 days remaining on a 7 Day ticket
You need to apply within 8 weeks of your last journey and give us your:
Oyster card number
Bank sort code and account number
We can check when you stopped using your Travelcard or Bus & Tram Pass season ticket and refund you from this date. We'll also refund the admin fee separately.
Your refund is based on the price of your season ticket, minus the cost of the equivalent travelcards you would have needed for the period of time you used it to travel. The difference between these two costs is what you'll be refunded. You won't be refunded on a pro-rata basis.
If you bought your ticket using a travel warrant, any refund will be paid to the warrant issuer. If you bought your ticket using a loan, for example from your employer, contact them to discuss your refund. It's likely your refund will be less than the amount you still owe on the loan.
Once you've been refunded, your season ticket and Oyster card will be stopped.

Trainline done the same with the backdate.
Between me and the missus, we're saving £740 a month on travel which is marvellous.
Unfortunately seem to be spending most of it on prosecco and cider!!

Weirdly they actually refunded the £5 to buy the oyster then charged an administrative fee of £5. This means Oyster card is now useless I have to buy another Oyster card
