On 26th May I will need to go from Heathrow to Central London. In the same
day I think to make a lot of journeys into Central London. Can anyone suggest me the "perfect ticketing" for that day? I have not Oyster Thank You. |

I have not Oyster Thank You. Hi, Yes, the Zones 1-6 one day Travelcard. Buy it from the ticket machines or ticket windows in the tube station at Heathrow. It gives you unlimited travel on the Underground, the DLR, buses and trams in all of the zones. DJ. |

For completeness: that's only within all the numbered central zones 1 to 6 -- you need extensions to go into the outer alphabetically named zones (Watford, Amersham, etc.) -- Ivan Reid, Electronic & Computer Engineering, ___ CMS Collaboration, Brunel University.

I have not Oyster Thank You. You can still buy a cardboard "Travelcard", which would be the best thing to get. If you're arriving before 9.30 am, you'll have to pay slightly more for a "Peak" Travelcard; after 9.30 am it gets cheaper. Either way, the ticket will last you all day for all the journeys you need to make. -- Annabel Smyth http://www.amsmyth.demon.co.uk/index.html Website updated 9 May 2004 |

Can I travel with a five zones single ticket 2-6 (£ 2.40) and a day peak travelcard 1-2 (£ 5.30)? Can I go, with these tickets, from Heathrow to zone 1 without "strategic" changes? Thanks to all. |

I don't see why not as I am not aware of any restriction on combining the tickets you want as they overlap at Zone 2. If anyone else thinks my advice is wrong then please say so. You will need to purchase your tickets at a ticket office at Heathrow because the ticket vending machines almost certainly will not have the Peak Z12 Day travelcard on them. I take it you are not returning to Heathrow later in the day? -- Paul C Admits to working for London Underground! |

I take it you are not returning to Heathrow later in the day? Wouldn't a four zone (3-6) single do just as well, even if the boundary station (Turnham Green in this case) wasn't in both zones anyway? If Heathrow won't/can't sell the combination of tickets you could always buy a One Day LT Card GBP 8.20, valid Zones 1-6 without peak hour restriction but valid on LT services (Underground, Buses and Croydon Trams) only. |

I asked for it to TFL. They answered that is correct to travel with a single ticket zones 3-4-5-6 and a day travelcard Z1-2. Thanl You. |
