A pdf of the 2005 fares changes is now at:

http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/downloads/...es-leaflet.pdf

Some notable changes not previously commented on are the abolition of
the Weekend Travelcard and the One Day LT card.
Photocards are no longer need with any oyster card.


Oh great! I see my daily fare will increase from £8.20 to £12 due to the
abolition of the LT card

Any suggestions for someone who needs to travel from zone 6 to 1 in on the
Underground and then zone 1 to Maralybone and back on the Chiltern line to
West Ruislip. This journey 4 days a week.

7 Day Travelcard = £39.50 = £9.88 a day
Daily Travelcard = £12 a day
Single = £3.80 x 2 = £7.60 a day(*)
Single (pre-pay) = £3.50 x 2 = £7 a day(*)
LT Card (now) = £8.20 per day.

(*) I usually get the Chiltern line from Maralybone to West Ruislip home
as I have a client at Maralybone. The LT card was accepted on this line,
but I assume an Underground Single won't be???

Actually LT cards are not accepted from Marylebone to West Ruislip, only
from Marylebone to Amersham and from South Ruislip to West Ruislip.
