The majority of One Day Travelcards currently sold will be withdrawn entirely in January – TfL calls it a “simplification.” The only one day cards available, peak or off-peak, will be for zones 1-2, zones 1-4, and zones 1-6.
One Day Travelcard users, peak and off-peak, who do not need to travel into Zone 1 will be worst hit of all. The Zones 2, 2-3 and 2-6 One Day Travelcards will be withdrawn. A Zone 2-6 travelcard (£9.00/£5.10) will be replaced by a Zone 1-6 Travelcard (£14.80/£7.50)
All these changes are tucked coyly away in a(n updated) “note to editors” near the bottom of TfL’s press release.
