Strange Thoughts of a Strange Man

It’s coming up to the time of year (November) when I buy my annual Travelcard for travel from my home in Orpington (zone 6) to work Tottenham Court Road (zone 1) including tube and bus fares. Last year it was £1740.

I have just checked on the price for this year’s ticket. It is …

£1904!

I really can’t afford this much in one go. It does save me money compared to a monthly or weekly ticket but I’m beginning to suspect that the amount I save would be swallowed up in the interest charges on the credit card.

I will have to change to monthly tickets! Thank goodness I can do it all online these days.
