Tickets...
Probably a much-discussed topic, but what is the best way of buying tickets for a challenge? Peak travelcard all the way or is there a cheaper option?

That's a good point and you could possibly save a couple of quid (although I could not condone such actions!) You don't need to put your ticket through any barriers at Amersham, so the first point you would need your ticket would be to exit at North Harrow (unless you have a cunning HÃ¥kanesque route that avoids the Harrow run!).Richard wrote:Out of interest, has anyone ever encountered a ticket inspector in zones A-D at the time you'd be using the tube there?

Did I ever say that? Not in that many words anyway... What I mean, is that if you don't think you'll make it - don't try it!Soup Dragon wrote:(unless you have a cunning HÃ¥kanesque route that avoids the Harrow run!).

That's because it's a 1-6+D Travelcard, priced by LU However, a National Rail Ticket Office CAN issue such a beast and it'll show AMERSHAM (UND) - ZONE R1256 ZONES on the ticket, but it'll have exactly the same price and validity as if you bought it from a Tube Ticket Office.jonny wrote:I was wondering about this earlier, because I thought it might be worth trying to find an 'Amersham to London zones 1-6 travelcard' although I couldnt find one anywhere.
