2011 Fares

One last thing - yes, Oyster Ticket Stops are going to stop selling printed Day Travelcards - so that's a phasing out of sorts. Can't say I'm really at all surprised by that - indeed, I'm sure it's been part of the game plan, what with the withdrawal from newsagents of the machines that printed tickets and had Oyster pads retrofitted in favour of the much simpler, all electronic/ no moving parts Oyster 'Pearl' devices - I didn't imagine that newsagents going back to the old ways of having a stock of pre-printed Travelcards kept in an ice- cream box under the counter, and stamping the date on them, would last all that long! So yes, those who specifically want a Day Travelcard over using Oyster will now need to get to a station in order to buy one. That makes me less than gruntled. I live a long way from a station, so that means I'll have to pay to take a bus to get there. Unless I can have the cost of that journey deducted from the price of the travelcard (cue hollow laughter), I lose out by quite a lot. The usefulness of the paper travelcard is that I can then buy a national rail ticket to somewhere outside the applicable travelcard zones from the boundary of said zones, giving me great flexibility in the routing of the journey. |
