Hi Michael,
My comment about the direct trains was more that at Monument you are only expected to want the Circle/District line trains and you could pick the Circle line up from Liverpool Street. With Bank you have the Northern line, as well as the DLR and Waterloo and City (when it reopens).
Bank/Monument is a bit of an anomaly given that it really is just one station. I can’t see either being renamed as the historical importance of the associated buildings is just too great. I’m also told that there is a limit as to the number of interchanges that can be catered for in the system, and adding every Bank OSI to Monument as well might be too much.
Hi Michael,
Looking at the map I’d say that the extra distance is the reason why there is no OSI. Plus there are Circle line trains between the two stations as well.
There are two discounts for students. The 18+ Student Oyster allows you to purchase travelcards with a 30% discount. This is only really useful if you travel 4 or more days in a week. Single fares and caps are the same as a normal adult Oyster card.
You can also get a 16-25 National Railcard and have the discount added to either a blue adult Oyster or an 18+ Student Oyster. This gives you a third off the adult off-peak single fares and the off-peak cap.
