Travelcard extending?

the machines in Zones 1 & 2. "


Where did you find this information? I was under the impression that a
zone 1 extension is £2 - it certainly is when I use my Zone 2-3 Season
to travel to zone 1.

Or have I missed something? ;-)

Cheers,

Jason.

Hmm. You shouldn't rely on the London Hotel Reservation Centre for
information about fares, or indeed about anything. Their site claims
that outer London bus fares are 70p, doesn't know about the national
museums being free, and mentions The Millennium Experience Visitor's
[sic] Centre at Greenwich where you can see "what is planned for the
inside of the Dome".

According to
http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/downloads/...t-insert-2.pdf ,
a Ticket Extension for Zone 1 can be bought at self-service ticket
machines in Zones 2 - 6. On the return journey, buy a single Zone 1
ticket.

Do you think you could possibly reduce your sig to something
approaching Usenet norms, that is, no more than 4 lines of 80
characters, if it's not too much trouble? Thanks.

Oh, and there are two typos in it, too.


You really haven't got a life, have you?
