    .


    The "free" nature of the offer is that you are not paying a deposit (normally £3) for the card. You still have to pay for any journey.

    The other way of avoiding the £3 is to buy a longer-term travelcard.

    this is probably a daft question but Im not from London.

    Can you get one of these for a child ? as it is difficult to by daily tube passes for children unless you want to queue. We normally end up getting an adult daily tube ticket for my DD on the odd occasion that we go to London.

    thanks - OOPS

    got mine but only going to spend 2 days in London this year.
    If I had words to make a day for you,
    I'd sing you a morning golden and new.
    I would make this day last for all time,
    Give you a night deep with moonshine.
