It's worth noting the Network Railcard-discounted inboundary
Travelcard - i.e. zones 1-6 - still costs £5.00 this year, which is
now cheaper than all the off-peak Day Travelcard and Oyster PAYG caps
(for they are now at the same level), i.e. including the zones 2-6 cap
which is now £5.10.


Cheaper too than two PAYG z1-3 tube journeys. Though you'd have to do
a lot of weekend travelling before it started paying for itself (a
Network Railcard costing £25).

Actually, given that I work every second weekend, and try not to be a
hermit on the other weekends, I probably would just about come out
ahead. Given that I'd be too lazy to queue up at a ticket office every
time, £5 weekend caps would be quite nice, really. Ah well, ain't
gonna happen.
