- The pass is called a Travelcard, and is valid on buses, the Underground,
- British Rail trains and the Docklands Light Railway.

-
- Depends on how many zones you want it to cover. The prices in pounds
- Sterling are:
-
- Zone 1 only 9.30
- Zones 1 & 2 11.90
- Zones 1 - 3 16.30
- Zones 1 - 4 20.50
- Zones 1 - 5 25.50
- Zones 1 - 6 27.20
-
- > - what area does it cover
-
- Zone 1 is the central area, roughly bounded by the Circle Line but
- extending south as far as Elephant & Castle. The other zones are
- roughly concentric, with zone 6 extending to the outer boundaries
- of the London Boroughs (i.e. the former GLC area). Some London
- Regional Transport services go beyond zone 6.

- > - Can it start on any day or must it be e.g. Sunday-to-Sunday
-
- It is available for any seven consecutive days. Travel cards are
- also available for longer periods and for one day.
-
- > - Any restrictions e.g. cannot use during rush hours
-
- The one day Travelcards are only valid after 9.30, Monday to Friday,
- and all day Saturday and Sunday. I don't think such restrictions
- apply to Travelcard season tickets.
