But the fare increases won't affect journeys from those stations.

They will for overnight stays. These include tube travel in central
London to work when I have to buy tube singles, currently £2 (Zone 1) or
£2.20 (Zones 1 & 2).

No wonder I use my bike now if at all possible.

Why don't you get an Oyster? Is the three quid really that much of an
issue? I have an Oyster and use it about once a month, as much for the
convenience as the ticket price.

£3 for two two pounds tickets seems more than the hassle is worth in my
book. I was wrong in thinking I'd bought as many as 7 singles this year.
The actual number I found on checking was 2.

So pay the extra, for the convenience of paying in cash.

Or go by bike and avoid being ripped off. It's a great integrated
system, Travelcards, until you want to stay overnight when it all falls
apart.

I'm surprised a two-day outboundary travelcard has not been
introduced. It is available on most of the provincial PlusBus
schemes, as I recall...
