Am I eligible for the 16+ oyster photocard?

Question

I will be starting university in September 2008 in the UK. I will turn 18 on the 28th of August. I wanted to know if I am eligible for the 16+ oyster photocard as I will be using the train frequently to get to and from university. The discount and free travel on buses will help a great deal as university and travel doesn't come cheap and will also save me a lot of time and money (I think). Please help!!!!

Answer 1

No, because you'll be in higher education. However, because you are a student and over 18, you can get a student photocard. You apply online on the tfl website once you've enrolled at university.
