I also downloaded this version with the peak £1 oyster bus fare. It
has been replaced with the one
available for download now. In this new version they have also
increased some off-peak tube fares
which do not include zone1 from £1.10 to £1.30.

EEeeek!
Will download new version then.

Rather annoying/naughty isn't it?

The new one has definitely changed. It even says so on the cover
page: "75%
recycled." ;-)

It has changed but the old one also states '75% recycled'...
The two leaflets appear identical until you examine the details. They
both state January 2005 as publication date...

Definitely a good time to stock up on £0.70 Saver Tickets. They'll still be
good in the new year.

I couldn't get any (sold out) last December.

The morning peak £1.00 bus fare on prepay is still planned, although
its introduction will not take place until 27th February 2005, not on
2nd January like the rest of the fare changes. This info is from TfL
publicity dated 24th December, so presumably later than either version
of the fares leaflet? As to why the difference in dates, I have no
idea...

What's the odds that some places will forget about the price rise and
continue selling cheap savers?

That's if you can still find any. An article on London Tonight in the week
claimed newsagents have stockpiled tickets bought at the old rate and are
telling customers they've run out of them. They said it was unlikely you'd
find any available for sale until the price rise comes into effect.

Bit of poor planning by TfL not throttling the supply in the run-up to the
new fares, the extra cash would be better off going on the transport system,
not to the ticket agent.

I've tried several local newsagents' in the last few days and none of them
will sell me more than one book of Saver tickets. Surely this isn't allowed
if they have them?

I don't think any shopkeeper is obliged to sell you anything if they
don't want to, are they?

And TfL isn't obliged to continue supplying bus passes to a particular shop
if they don't want to.

It's the size of a county and it comes every two and a half minutes

All tube station ticket offices sell Savers as I recall. Perhaps they
are above such activity; you could try purchasing from there.

Except they have a contract with TfL and I'm sure keeping old stocks back
to sell at a huge profit could backfire on the agent if TfL found out. Do
the pass agents have to pay for their stocks of Savers in advance? It's a
pity the sale of Savers don't have to go through the system used to issue
Travelcards and Bus Passes as there could be no cheating that way.
