I have been asked by a Londoner who works at a higher education establishment in East London to point out that students on higher education courses which have less than 15hours per week of formal lectures are not eligible for a student discount on TfL services. The questioner feels this penalises many students, in a climate where tuition fees are increasing - as many degree courses are considered full time even where there are less than 15 hours of formal lectures. Will TfL reconsider this position?
