Saver goes up from 70p to £1 all day (43% rise).


The message there is to stock up on Saver tickets before January '05 as
there is no "Use By" date. The same applied at the beginning of this year
though only a 5p rise from 65p to 70p.

Presumably Pass Agents have to buy their stocks of Bus Savers off LUL as
the sales are not accounted for through their ticket issuing system?
Therefore on that basis agents would get to make a huge profit if they
stocked up at the before the price rise and sold them on after January.
