Hi, I see various posts about these, but nothing recent. As a potential commuter into London, how can I find out the costs. The FCC website doesnt seem to let you see the costs, unless you go to buy, but to do that you need a photo card? Actually; For that matter, where would I find prices for season tickets from Brox -> Cambridge too? Thanks, Dan

I currently pay £210.10 for a monthly HFN - MOG, what's that £309.60 figure for?

Higher price is for zones 1 - 6..

Ok thats really helpful info, thanks. It helps me work out how much more to ask for in order to cover the travel costs. Turns out, it's not as expensive as I thought - as i'm already spending over £100 a month in diesel anyway.

Is it true that if you buy a season ticket from Hertford East to London Liv St, you can use it for Hertford North to Moorgate? Are the two lines interchangable? I am moving to nearer Hertford North but I work nearer Liverpool St and was hoping to chop and change depending on my mood (and possibly the weather)

quote:The tickets are valid from Hertford Stations to London Terminals, so you can chop and change. By the way, the season price from Ware to London Terminals is the same as from Hertford so those travelling from Ware may as well get a Hertford Stations season as it's a useful back up when the service from Liverpool Street goes belly up.

But that is only what I was told; the actual situation may well be different!

I buy 'Carnet' tickets. you buy in groups of ten. If you buy ten Hert north to london it's £60 and ten london to hert nth are £45. The returns are cheaper becoz they are 'off peak' but as the guy in the ticket office says you can you the off peak return from london at any time. also the tickets are 'multi directional' so you can use an off peak going to london if your train is after 9am. Carnets work for me as i going into london on average 4 times a week and sometimes after 9am.

Also on FFC web Site.... Off Peak Carnets are not valid for travel into London arriving before 10:00 or for travel departing London before 09:30 or between 16:30 and 19:01.

I noticed it said Hertford Stations so was hopeful and it will be excellent as when I move, I don't need to change my ticket at all (and no travel costs to school for my son [:)]) Also good for if one line has delays, I will jsut switch to the other one.
