everybody,
do you know how much was a ticket for the London underground in the
early '60s?

A child's ticket from Westminster to New Cross in 1962/3 ish was 10d (approx
4p) - sticks in my mind because it was the first ticket I ever bought on my
own!

In the late sixties a day return from Northwood Hills to South
Kensington was 7s 6d, child 3s 9d, total for mum plus 2 going to the
museums, 15 bob. These days the adult fares (with oyster) come to £4
off-peak, and children free or £1, total £6. Strikes me as a
significant reduction in real terms, but then it's a lot more than a
short hop.
