According to fares supremo Barry Doe (widely respected, but still a secondary source) annual season ticket holders whose ticket is valid for a station n the London and South East network area can have their Gold Card (which is included in the annual's price) coded onto their Oyster card, so avoiding the inconvenience of carrying round a piece of cardboard and remembering to claim the discount for the Gold Card.
Additionally, the discount of 34% is now extended to Underground only Oyster PAYG fares (similar ts and cs doubtlessly apply). The cheapest annual season ticket used to be Ryde St Johns Road to Ryde Esplanade on the Isle of Wight. It is currently £140 pa and might not take that long to pay for itself.

Burges Road and "The Arches"
I am pleased to see that people may now once again cycle into Burges Road (East Ham) at the Barking end as well as out, as a cycle track has been installed.
After years of works going on in the area, I thought I'd check whether it is still possible to get under "the arches" - in fact where Barrington Rd and Stevenage Rd (E6) join under the railway bridge by the East Ham train depot. It's just as much a dump as it ever was -disgraceful - but you can get through on foot or by bike.
It is from this point that we really need a path to Barking across the open space, under the A406 and over the R Roding.
