Unused Single Journey TravelCards for the Tube Expire?
 

I purchased single day zone 1-6 tickets and they were mailed to my home in
the US.
I forgot about that our flight is overnight so the date printed on the
ticket is for the day before our plane lands.
Are these tickets good only for the day printed on the ticket or can
we still use them the following day if they are unused?

Quite apart from the mistake made, does this amount of 'planning ahead'
not seem unnecessarily OTT to you?

The TFL website recommended purchasing in advance to avoid waiting in long
queues.

This is a standard ticket that can be bought from the machines.

Er, yes, which can have long queues at them.

Not always, that is why they offer the service in the first place.

I don't think I'd like to be hanging around a ticket machine if I had
loads of luggage. The machines can seem quite bewidering to me, and I'm
fairly familiar with them! If I were planning a trip in advance, I'd try
to get a PrePay Oyster and pass it on to friends, when they visit
London. I don't know whether you can get Oyster cards sent to the USA
(though I see no reason why this should not be possible)

I may look into an Oyster card.
It is very annoying that the travel card is good for only one specific day.
It is not as if it is reserving a seat.
The clock for expiration should not start until it is first used.
I may mail them back to the UK for refund.
