If you are buying a National Rail ticket that includes travel across London, then you will be able to use your National Rail ticket on London Underground to transfer between National Rail stations.

• Oyster pay as you go daily price cap and pay as you go single fares for journeys on National Rail, London Underground and Docklands Light Railway

It is designed to enable 16 and 17 year olds to access the same half price child fares that they could access until they were 16.

The 16-17 Saver cannot be used as a Photocard for a paper Season ticket and if you are buying a paper Season ticket for the first time you will need to have a photocard created at a staffed National Rail Station. You will need to provide a passport-type photograph for your Photocard and the photocard must be carried when travelling.

If you are buying a smart Season ticket, you usually will not require a separate photo card to validate your Season ticket. 

The 16-17 Saver can be purchased by all 16 and 17 year olds who live in Britain or abroad.
