Please help me again.
I will travel with two fourteen years old boys. If I understood well
I will have to buy in the first, im my path, tfl ticket office a £
5,70 (off peak)1-4 travelcard and two £ 1,00 travelcard for children
traveling with me. Am I right?


As I live outside the zones myself and don't travel with children I'm not
entirely sure.

However, looking at:

http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloa...April-2007.pdf (page
10/11 of the printed document, page 6 of the PDF)

suggests that the £1 child fares are only available on Zones 1-6
Travelcards (in which case it would work out cheaper for you to buy one of
those and take advantage of paying £2 total for two accompanied boys ,
rather than them having their own Travelcards - unless, of course, you are
happy for them to go off on their own at any point, in which case they
must have their own tickets). Hopefully someone who is more familiar with
buying family tickets will be able to advise you more accurately than I am
able to!


The implication of
http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloa...pril-2007.pdf:
"If you have a valid Travelcard you can buy an all Zones Off-Peak Day
Travelcard for up to 4 under-16s travelling with you for just £1 each."
is that you can buy the Zone 1-6 £1 accompanying child tickets regardless
of which zones your own travelcard covers.
