Ticket Validity
OK is it a single journey. Well most people travel on the Underground to
get from A to B. Trips A to A are not what the Underground was meant for
:-)
Will you get into trouble doing it? I doubt it. Will you look like a
nutter? Probably.
CUSTOMER: My ticket wont work the exit gate.
STATION ASSISTANT: Can I see you ticket please sir?
CUSTOMER: Here you are.
STATION ASSISTANT: This is a single from this station sir, can I see your
return?
CUSTOMER: I didn't get off the train I just went around the Circle Line.
STATION ASSISTANT: [This guy is a nutter]

Is a single ticket valid to the departure station? I.E. Is a single
from glocester road valid if I get on, take a trip arorund the circle,
and get off at the original station? If not, why not. It's a single
trip from the departure station to a station in the same zone
completed within 2 hours.
no it isn't. There is no single fare for a trip from where you are back
to where you are assuming a circular trip. This is based on the logical
assumption that you would not wish to buy a ticket to "here" when you
are already at "here". I can assure you that riding round the Circle
Line isn't that exciting!
Do your trip when you can justify having a One Day travelcard and make
it part of other journeys that day.
