You young people won't remember Fares Fair in 1981/2. Fares were cut to

I DO remember and look forward to a Freedom Pass next year.

10/20/30/40p for 1 to 4 zones. Even after the court challenge and the
subsequent increase to 20/40/60/80p they were cheaper than they had been
before for most journeys.

I have just failed to find a URL describing Fares Fair in detail.
I DO remember even cheaper Sunday fares from Zone 1E to Epping Forest.

These days, I think cheaper Sunday fares would be a bad thing as the
zone 1 load levels on the restricted network are fairly high.

I suppose planned engineering closures won't happen during the Olympics.
