All Day Travelcards

Under the previous zonal fare structure, it had been a ticket called Travelcard which introduced the concept of all day, multi-modal travel. This ticket proved popular and was easily understood. For this reason, it was decided to retain the name "Travelcard" to identify the new range of all day tickets in the neighbourhood fare structure. This range however, was not a mirror image of its time based neighbourhood counterparts; and this was probably the first shortfall that transport users picked up on. Only the inner neighbourhood had its own all day travelcard. Within the other neighbourhoods, those travelling beyond the availability of a two hour ticket were forced to purchase another. For many thousands, this was a twice a day repitition. The rest of the travelcard range comprised the neighbourhood plus inner, neighbourhood plus one and an anywhere travelcard.
