You can apply for a loan to buy a season ticket to travel to work by train or bus. It can also be used to buy an associated train station car park season ticket.
The minimum loan is £100 (one hundred).
The maximum loan is £5,000 (five thousand) per year.
You loan is deducted from your monthly pay over 12 months. If you leave before repaying the whole of the loan, you will need to pay back any outstanding loan payments. This will be deducted from your final pay or you will be sent an invoice which will be payable immediately.
