London travelcard
 
I just got the Fodors City pack of London, and it says that you can't use the london travelcard until after 9:30 am. This isn't true right?

I haven't been to London for a couple of years, but yes, this is true. I think they don't want all the tourists using the transit system til after the morning rush hour (9:30). By the time we had our breakfast, this worked out well for us. The travelcard is well worth it.<BR>Have fun.

It's again the stupidity of people who don't know what they are talking about...<BR><BR>The 7 day passes are good 24/7 from the first day of validity through the 7th day of validity. Period end of discussion. Doesn't matter if it's the overpriced visitor's travelcard or the more sensible 7 day passes available in London.<BR><BR>The 3 & 4 day visitor's travelcard are also good 24/7.<BR><BR>Now the one day travelcards at the lower rate (&pound;4.10 for zones 1 & 2) are only good after 9:30 on weekdays. If you pay &pound;1.20 you can get a pass good from the opening of the underground till its close....that one day weekday travelcard is the only one with a 9:30 AM restriction so if anybody says otherwise, they just don't know what they are talking about.

WhatsUpWith XXX? Aug 11th, 2002 01:58 PM

XXX, Calm down.....Kodi's information was correct, just not as comprehensive as what you offered. There is absolutely no reason to be so nasty.

xxx Aug 11th, 2002 02:07 PM

I only get nasty when people write stupid things that are not true as was the original posting.....

Ruth Aug 11th, 2002 02:10 PM

And, I think xxx means for 1.20 MORE you can get a pass valid all day. (ie 5.30 GBP rather than 4.10)

Sheesh....xxx. I really don't think we are all stupid. Rachel didn't specify which travelcard she was interested in...and I assumed it was the one day card.<BR>Thanks 'what's up' for coming to our defense!<BR>Good luck Rachel.
