What if we said that some of the group got left behind?
I bought group tickets for a group of 6/7 before a few years back and the woman knew we weren't a group of ten but she sold me the tickets anyway. Just an idea..

The person selling the tickets won't be bothered about whether you're a true group or not, the revenue inspector you could come across however, probably would... so on your head be it if you buy group tickets knowing full well you're not a group!!

A few years ago, when they still used to sell Family One Day Travel Cards, I was refused a sale by the ticket office until I produced my son who was waiting with my wife on the other side of the station. :shock:

I was hoping to take lots of pictures but my digital camera isn't working :(

Is anyone else going to have a camera on the day?

I am an employee at BT Wholesale Group and me and a fellow employee are going to do the Tube Challange for Red Nose day. We will be dressed up as Batman and Robin but I have never done this challenge before and I am not too confident about the route I have around London tube stations. We are doing this challenge on the 15th March and was wondering could it be possible if myself and my fellow employee join your group on this day because it's nothing worse than getting lost in London.

Cheers :D

Sam, how can that be right? Surely it can't work out as more expensive for a group of seven than for a group of ten?
