Default 3 Day Travel Cards?

Quick Question!

Does anyone know if the 3 day travel cards are still available?

Thanks.



Good question. The "normal" 3 day travelcard was only launched in January
and is still available, the only question being why anybody would want to
buy one (the Z1-2 Peak version offers a £1.00 saving over 3 separate
travelcards, the Z1-6 Peak and Z1-6 Off-peak offer no discount atall, other
combinations of zones are not available on a 3 day travelcard).

For non UK residents http://www.ticket-on-line.com lists a variety of
options but won't actually let you buy anything at the moment as

"PLEASE NOTE: Due to the imminent launch of exciting new Travelcard options
for visitors to London, you can currently only purchase Visitor Travelcards
with a start date on or before 10 April 2005. We apologise for any
inconvenience this may cause."

and when you try to buy one the "earlist possible start date to allow time
for the ticket to be delivered is Mon 11th April 2005". Doh!
