How much was a ticket for the underground in the 60s?

But given that 1/- is exactly one twentieth of a pound, and 2/- is exactly
a tenth, it makes sense that the replacement coin for the same value, ie
5p and 10p be essentially the same coin, and by extention, that the old
coins remain in circulation. I certainly enjoyed getting change with a
king's rather than queen's head on it. I never happened upon any older
than about 1950, but still...
I've seen shilling coins dated 1952, bearing George VI's portrait, however.
