A question about : Train Tickets only needed to Watford ?

If you've got Olympics tickets you get a free London Travelcard for the day, which is valid from Watford Jct. Does that mean I only need buy a return to Watford on that day ?

Best answers:

  • You are correct. You only need a return to Watford. Also you dont have to specifically get of the train. As long as the train passes through the train station then you just stay on the train.
  • No, the train must stop at the station, also I think no Watford - London ticket is valid on Virgin Trains.
  • You may well find that most of the cheaper tickets actually cost less for journeys all the way to London than for journeys to Watford.
  • The trains does not have to stop at watford - but no doubt though train you do get on I bet probably does (cannot say though re Virgins trains) ie for a London Midland train.
    Below is extract from e-mail I have - although from First Capital Connect. As a volunteer I get free travel zone 1-6 so need to pay for the element outside of London to Zone 6 - this was their response.
    I can confirm that as along as you purchase a ticket to the station where your free pass becomes valid, the train you catch does not need to call at this station.
