Default How much was a ticket for the underground in the 60s?

for Simmonds, 1/5d for Strongs and 1/6d for Marstons - that 3d
difference was a lot of money at those prices.


Yes, but you appear to have forgotten the convention for writing the
amounts down. It would be either "1s 3d" or "1/3". If one of your prices
had been 1s 4d, then the way you wrote them would have indicated a
farthing.
