A [[photocard]] is not normally needed by adults but the there are a few exceptions mentioned at [http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/fares-tickets/2006/photocards/index.shtml tfl photocard pages]. This also contains the rules for children and teenagers. |
Day and weekend travelcards (and, for a trial period, zone 1 or 1–2 weekly travelcards) can be bought from machines with no need for a [[photocard]]. For longer periods you will need to go to the ticket office and show your [[photocard]]. |

Possibly the best value ticket option if you like to use a range of transport options. Travelcards are valid on the Tube, National Rail overground trains, trams and the DLR within the appropriate zones, and on buses throughout London.
The cost of a travelcard depends on how many zones you want it to cover. Essentially, if your zones include zone 1 then adding an extra zone or two isn't going to bump up the cost too much. (Any unexpired Travelcard is valid on any bus in any zone, although some bus drivers seem unaware of this.)
Day and weekend travelcards (and, for a trial period, zone 1 or 1–2 weekly travelcards) can be bought from machines with no need for a photocard. For longer periods you will need to go to the ticket office and show your photocard.
Physically, the travelcard is just a credit-sized piece of thin plastic or card with a data strip on the back.
The Oyster Card has just been launched to the public after a period of trials with London Transport staff members. This is the high-tech replacement for the travelcard.
