7-Day Travel cards and Christmas

If you want the flexibility of choosing which x days of travel you want, you need a Carnet (not available on all providers), which are bulk buys of single tickets/days at a modest discount. Timed travel cards are timed. How, otherwise, would a monthly pass work?

Alternatively using contactless, with its mon-sun capping is the same price as a 7 day travel card, possibly cheaper depending on how may days you need it over the holidays

Hi All

Long time lurker, not posted for a while

Purchased a 7 Day travelcard today and it expires on 25th Dec

As TFL (London Transport) are not providing any services on Christmas Day I'm only getting 6 days for the price of 7, yet they still sell it as a 7 Day travelcard

I've asked TFL about it and am waiting for a reply, but wondered whether this would be breaching the Sale of Goods Act?

Thanks

I actually think you have a valid point, as it is only possible to use the ticket for six days.

However if TFL don't offer any remedy I don't think it is worth arguing.

Furthermore you have admitted you don't actually want to use the ticket the day when there is no public transport. So you have not actually lost out (in other words if public transport was running on Christmas Day you would not have used it and you would still have had to pay to travel on Boxing Day).
