Going Around - Travelcards
   

Travel cards give you flexibilty, convenience and value for money.

Please remember that when using the Tube, Tramlink, DLR or National Rail, the Travelcard you hold must be valid for all the zones you travel in, as shown on the ticket.

The stations north of Moor Park are not within the Zonal area and are as follows:
  • Croxley or Rickmansworth (Zone A)
  • Chorleywood or Watford (Zone B)
  • Chalfont & Latimer (Zone C)
  • Amersham or Chesham (Zone D)
    Special rates apply to/from these stations.

Travelcards Are valid for travel:

  • in the selected zones on Tube, Tramlink, DLR and National Rail services (excluding Heathrow Express)
  • across the entire London bus network on buses which display this sign: but not on certain special bus services and excursions.
  • at 1/3rd off the normal fare on scheduled Riverboat services - just show your Travelcard at the time of travel.

    London is split into different zones, a bit like a target on a dartboard, so you can choose to have one that just allows you to travel in the central zone, or one that allows you to go further afield.

One-Day Travelcards can be used after 09:30 on weekdays and all day at the weekends and public holidays. These can be purchased for Zones 1 - 2, Zones 1- 4 or Zones 1 - 6. An unlimited number of journeys can be made within the Zones chosen. The One-Day Travelcard is now valid until 04:30 the next day and can be used on night buses (prefixed with an N).
Family Travelcards are available to families or groups of one or two adults travelling with one to four children. These have the same conditions as regular One-Day Travelcards, see above.

Weekend Travelcards are worth buying if you intend to travel on consecutive weekend days or public holidays. These can be used all day and have the same conditions as regular One-Day Travelcards but do not cover the N-prefixed night buses.

One-Week Travelcards provide unlimited journeys throughout the selected zones for seven days. They are valid around the clock (including peak times) and include use of the N-prefixed night buses. One-Week Travelcards can be purchased for Zone 1 only, Zones 1 - 2, Zones 1 - 3, Zones 1 - 4, Zones 1 - 5 and for all Zones.

Carnets A Carnet is a book of 10 single tickets for underground journeys within zone 1 only, that may be purchased in advance. These tickets have to be validated before travelling using machines at the departure station. They are also valid on Thameslink services between King's Cross and London Bridge.

Photocards You will need a Photocard in order to purchase any Travelcard except the One-Day and Weekend versions.  To obtain a Photocard take a passport-size photograph to any post office or Underground station Ticket Office.  A Child-Rate ‘5-10’ photocard – issued to children aged 5 to 10 years inclusive; ‘11-15’ photocard – issued to children aged 11 to 15 years inclusive. Available from larger self service ticket machines or ticket offices.  To prove their age children show either their birth certificate or passport.
