I like the benefits of Travecard whenever I go Central London which is quite often. Going in/out, wherever/whenever that is just so great.

To save a little, I purchase the off-peak ticket - considering the hassles of rush hour - I travel at a later time. With all that, I never had any problem. In my mind off-peak applies to the first point of destination and you can return to point of origin at anytime. Well, I found that out the other day, WRONG!

Since I am done with my business in London, I decided to go home. I could have stayed longer in Folyles but it's horribly cold and dark and am tired, I'd rather be home. At the station to my amazement I couldn't!!! The reason, the assistant told, I have to wait another 1 1/2 hours bec my ticket is off-peak.

doh! I have to wait standing at the station full of people around! It seems so absurd and ridiculous!
