It explains what a peak ticket is. Think long and hard about whether you need a peak ticket on a Saturday.

Then get a single journey one.

But the 'off peak' bit is in the section for zone 1256, which is an odd selection.

How? This is fucking confusing, I don't understand any of it.

The concept of oyster cards bemuses me.

For some reason, that website isn't offering off-peak Zone 4 travelcards, which are available and cost £8.90 (£7.70 on Oyster).

OP, if you tell me your exact itinerary then I can figure out your cheapest fare options.

If you'll be spending more than a couple of days in London, you probably want to get an Oyster card, which is cheaper and more convenient. You can buy a Pay as you Go Oyster at any tube station for a £5 deposit, and you can return the card at any tube station and get your £5 deposit refunded, plus any remaining credit on the card.

You can see a complete list of tube fares and a guide to the Oyster system at the links below.

Right, it lists an off-peak zone 1-6 travelcard for £8.90. Why would it offer you less for the same price?

That's hardly any in-london travel at all. Pick up an oyster card, top it up with 20 quid and cash it out at a station when you're leaving. In any case, you will never be charged more on your oyster than you would have been for an equivalent travelcard, while you might be charged significantly less.

Get the off-peak Zone 1-6 travelcard. You won't ever be travelling at a peak time, so there's no need for the 1-4 peak one.

Adding to what others have said, get an oyster.

I'm a something of a technophobe, but during a recent spate of cross-London travel I got an Oyster, and it really is quite a good thing. Do that.

Name it Jeff, try and get it to produce a pearl through a complex series of mind games.

Use said peal to barter for a train ticket.
