Phone Card

Who out there remembers these from @bt_uk?

Back before phones took credit cards and before mobile phones were a thing, we had to pre-purchase credit using these cards.

And I think this one is still unused :D

Travelcards

In the old days, an off-peak, Zones 1-6 Travelcard would cost you £3.10

Don’t believe me? Here’s one from 1991

The equivalent ticket today would cost you £12.70, or £12.50 on Oyster….

Yes, this is a 27-year-old Travelcard…
