And that the punter already has a card.

Do Ticket Stops not hold a stock of cards? Must admit that surprises
me.


Didn't last time I tried to use one.

Let's be honest though - how many tourists are going to hold a period
travelcard and then wish to travel beyond its zonal availability?

Uh, any of them who are visiting for a week, spend most of the time
doing the usual tourist things in zone 1, but on a couple of days go a
bit further out to visit, eg, Kew Gardens or Hampton Court.

Are these places always on the tourist trail for people who stay a week?


Of course they're not *always* on it. Nor's the British Museum, or
Westminster Abbey, or any of the other places that lots of tourists like
to visit. But I bet my house that there's more than 100 a year!
