    I now have a disabled person railcard.

    I only make occasional journeys in the oyster area, but I understand that it will save me some money to buy an oyster card.

    My usual travel is on Govia/ Thameslink from ELS to West Hampstead Thameslink, St Pancras, Blackfriars. Where would be the best place to get the oyster and railcard linked. I did ask for help at ELS, but the person at the ticket office was vague at best.

    Hi. I have added a few railcards to my Oyster card over the past few years and the best way is to go to an underground station like Blackfriars or King’s Cross and ask one of the station staff to add the railcard details to the Oyster card. They usually do this at at ticket machine

    Regards Andy

    Yes, my understanding is that you need to go to an LU ticket office to have that done.
