Does anyone know of a website which is able to calculate whether using
PAYG Oyster or an annual Travelcard is better value for an individual?


Not that I am aware of.

I think I've used http://www.prepayortravelcard.com/ in the past but
it doesn't seem to be fully updated for 2010 yet and my local
Underground station doesn't yet have any 2010 fare booklets..


Note that there are no fares booklets for the 2010 increase. They have
been abolished. You are stuck with using the TfL website.


And as far as I can see, you have to look at vast numbers of different
web pages to get the whole picture. It was easy with a handy booklet to
be able to compare different fares in order to decide which option to go
for. Now you're forever clicking and scrolling through the jungle of
the TfL site. Yuk! Or have I missed a nice comprehensive PDF file
somewhere?

Is there anything like the old booklet for use by staff, e.g. station
staff faced with a customer query about fares?
