Hi all,

I am planning to travel between Basingstoke and London Waterloo several times in one day, would I be able to use a London day travelcard for this?

Does a travelcard offer unlimited travel between the points shown on the ticket?

Thanks in advance,
GWR (Great Western Railway) 158

No - it offers one journey from the outer point show on the ticket into London and one back out, plus unlimited travel within London.   I used one (from Woking) on 1st November at it was retained by the Woking barrier when I came back out.

If you plan to make the journey 3 times or more, a weekly season ticket will be your cheapest option. Ticket only to Waterloo and use your Oyster (Smartcard system used by passengers on Transport for London services) or debit card for the Underground/bus journeys to benefit from daily capping.
