Default How much was a ticket for the underground in the 60s?

I was also around during the pre-decimal era and only ever remember seeing
£SD written as 3s 6d or 3/6

But when you got into the pounds there were more possibilities: £1/3/6,
£1 3s 6d,
£1-3-6, £1:3:6 etc. (also 23/6 from time to time, not least on railway
tickets - in the new issue of RM there is a picture of a ticket for the
"15 guinea special", with the price shown as "315s."(.
