Re: [DMCForum] Re: History of AEC Routemaster London Bus (Mark V)

[Martin Gutkowski <martin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In central London (zone1) people tend to just carry one day travelcards 
which gives free all day access to trains, buses and the underground, so 
the conductor doesn't have to issue too many tickets. If travellig into 
London on the train, it's usually only a couple of quid more to make 
your ticket into a travelcard so it's a no brainer really
