hirezMy old travelcard wallet is held together with black gaffer and contains a picture of a startled stranger.
No real surprise there.
However, the price of the monthly zone 2+3 pass that I remember mithering about in 2000?[1] - £45
Compare and contrast with the current cost of same - £80.
Or the FGW 'equivalent' - £182
... It's cheaper for me to drive to work.[2]
[1] That still looks weirdly like the future.
[2] Or at least some combination of drive + bike so as to avoid paying for parking in Bath, which is Not Cheap.
