Hi
What are Capital Travel cards and were can I find some info on them
and I am right in saying they allow you to travel on overground trains
in the same way as travel cards allow you to travel on the tube within
certain areas


I think you have a long memory. Many years ago there were separate
tickets - Travelcards and Capitalcards. The Travelcard was LT services
only while the Capitalcard was charged at a higher price because it
provided BR services as well.

However both tickets were merged into the Travelcard product which now
provides for travel on buses, tubes, national rail trains, trams and DLR
within the zones for which you buy it. As there is now just one bus zone
in London any Travelcard gives you the right to travel on any TfL bus
within the Greater London area.
