TfL must be coining it in
« on: 07 March 2017, 13:35:07 »

My missus is going to visit a school in Wembley tomorrow, going down by train. I decided to get her what used to be a 'travelcard' when I was there so she could hop straight on the tube.
Zones 1-4, for one day, £12.30! Kinell...... :o

Thats cheap, sounds like a Off Peak Travel Card, after 9.30am Travel, try and get in before then, as most people do, and back out again at clocking off time and you probably wont get much change out of £20 for the day.

I try to avoid public transport. Mixing with the great unwashed is rarely a good idea.

I hope your good lady doesn't end up sitting next to the local nutter or worse still picking up a dose of bubonic plague.

Other than that I'm sure her time away from you will be most enjoyable. :)

I have the budget statement to keep me amused while she is away. Should be interesting for you, tax cuts for millionaires on the way, I think.

That has always been the Tory way.

Didn't vote for them. Never will. Wouldn't vote for Corbyn either. Where does that leave us? :-\

Yup. No need for travel cards, I either use my Apple Watch or iPhone for all TfL travel. It automatically limits to travel card costs, depending how much you use it.

I'll have you know I was using contactless travel at the barriers over 25 years ago. Unless I got caught ...... ;D ;D

About four years ago an off-peak (after 9.30am) Travelcard was about £9. But these days few people use them. mostly Oyster or contactless or whatever. So, £12.30 isn't too bad, of course you could always have told he to get up early and walk to save a few quid  ::)

As Shakespeare might have said "Therein lies the rub".

Lib Dems?
Gert Wilders?
Monster raving Loonies?

Everyone is decrying the Tories for running down the NHS and preparing chunks for privatisation BUT plenty are still voting for them! You can never find anyone who says I vote Tory.
