Travelcard Zone 1

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Travelcard Zone 1 is the central zone of Transport for London's zonal system used for calculating co-ordinated inter-modal Travelcard fares within London. London is split into six (approximately concentric) zones for the purpose of determining the cost of a Travelcard. The zone is also used for pricing London Underground and Docklands Light Railway single journeys, but not journeys undertaken entirely by bus or tram, for which a city-wide flat fare applies.

The boundary of Zone 1 roughly corresponds to the route of the Underground's Circle Line and thus stations within the zone cover the West End, the Holborn district, Kensington, Paddington and the City of London. Old Street, Angel, Pimlico, Tower Gateway, Aldgate East and Euston, Vauxhall, Elephant & Castle, Borough, London Bridge, Earl's Court, Marylebone, Edgware Road, Lambeth North and Waterloo are in Zone 1 but not in or on the Circle Line. Every Tube line except the East London Line passes through or terminates in Zone 1.

The zone includes all of London's principal railway termini.

[edit] London Underground

A single trip on London Underground within the zone costs £4.00 for adults and £2.00 for children (2007 prices).

Using an Oyster card a single trip costs £1.50 for adults and 50p for children. The difference in price is to encourage the uptake of Oyster cards.

Type	Adult-rate	Child-rate
Paper ticket	£ 4.00	£ 2.00
Oyster Card pay as you go	£ 1.50	£ 0.50

Underground stations within this zone are typically close together. For instance Covent Garden and Leicester Square tube stations are only an eighth of a mile apart. Tourists and other visitors commonly stay in Zone 1 for much of their stay in London and therefore Zone 1 is London to many non-Londoners.
