The TfL site shows fares for 2010 and 2011. *Are the fares actually
ties to the calendar year, as this implies, or do they change on
2 January thus aligning with the National Rail fares change date?

I'd always assumed the latter, but now I'm curious as to whether TfL
change their fares on 1 January or 2 January. *Anyone know?

I've got no source to confirm it for this year but it's always the
same date as the railways.

(Though annual Travelcards prob best purchased on the 31st, just in
case of any purchasing difficulties - New Year's Day might not be the
best time for such a transaction! That said, it could start a booking
office (clerk) somewhere off onto a positive start for the year to
come...)
