Travelcard Peak/Off Peak
Hi there,
richard wrote: I'm going to London for the first time in a couple weeks. There's very little price difference between a Peak Day TravelCard and an Off Peak Day TravelCard, I'm not exactly sure though when one can be used and when one can't. I can't find anywhere that lists when peak times are and when it;s not possible to use my Off Peak Travelcard? can anyone give me an idea? or is it better to just purchase the peak card? if you stay for more than one day, I'd consider buying a Visitor Travelcard, which is available in various flavours and AFAIK does not have any daytime restrictions. http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/fares-tick...isitor-travelc ard.shtml CU, Peter |

In the UK, they can be purchased only as part of a London holiday package through certain travel agents. They work out more expensive than one-day or weekly Travelcards unless full use is made of the discounts to tourist attractions. -- Richard J. (to e-mail me, swap uk and yon in address) |

A tourist might want to get out and about early, to make best use of the day, rather than lounging in bed until 9.30! -- Roland Perry |

Depending on your planned activities for the day, it might be cheapest to buy a single for the first Tube journey of the day and a One Day (Off-Peak) Travelcard later... -- Helen D. Vecht: Edgware. |
