Just to supplement this thread, the London Travel Report 2006 has a
graph which nicely shows London Underground fare trends from 1971 to
2006.

As a complete aside: that is a fascinating document, and some of the
charts are beautiful.


It contains some very interesting pieces of information. I was surprised
to discover that average household expenditure on transport in London is
lower than in the rest of GB (£67.70/week vs £73.30/week) - despite both
public and private transport being portrayed as very expensive in London
compared to elsewhere. It's also a lower proportion of household
expenditure at about 13.6%, vs 16.6% elsewhere.
