Peak hours (6:30-9:30 AM and 4-7 PM on weekdays) are the enemy. Fares are roughly 20-30% higher. It’s insane. I refuse to pay the “I’m squished against a stranger” tax.
Shift your schedule if you can. Leave for work at 6:15 AM instead of 8:30 AM. Or wait until after 9:30 AM to head out. Your wallet will thank you, and you’ll actually get a seat. Imagine that.
Railcards are a cheat code.
If you’re under 30, or over 60, get a Railcard. Even the regular 16-25 or Two Together Railcard works. The trick? Link that Railcard to your Oyster card.
Suddenly, your off-peak fares get a one-third discount. It’s absurdly good. A journey that costs £3.00 becomes £2.00. Over a year, you’re saving enough for a weekend trip to Paris. Not bad for a £30 investment.
