This is going to sound extremely dumb, I know. But when did a
simple Z1 tube fare increase to Two Pounds? Well, that's what the
machine at Paddington charged me to go to St Pancras.

Announced by TfL 19 Aug 2003, effective from 4 Jan 2004.

Alternatives for a Zone 1 tube journey are Oyster Pre-Pay (£1.60) or a
Zone 1 Carnet (10 tickets for £15).
