Does anyone have any news on what is happening to weekly/monthly travelcard
prices?

Am just wondering if they will be going down to reflect the reductions in Oyster pre-pay or not..


http://www.london.gov.uk/news/docs/fares_2006.pdf

This pdf lists the new weekly prices - I think you can calculate the monthly and annual
from them but I'm not sure. Someone else may know?


I've just noticed something else from the PDF that hasn't been
mentioned yet - it appears that, from next year, single-zone
Travelcard seasons will be withdrawn. In other words, weekly or longer
Travelcards will have to cover at least 2 zones.

So anyone who uses the trick (mentioned here a few times) of buying a
one-zone Travelcard instead of a similarly-priced bus pass in order to
save on occasional tube fares, might want to think about getting
themselves an annual ticket sometime before 2nd January. Especially
since the price of bus pass seasons will go up by 22% - rather more
than the 4% quoted for Travelcards.
