I was delving around the web cos I we found some tram/trolley/train/bus tickets in a folder when we cleared my FILs house. They appear to have belonged to another relative who worked for London Transport. The tickets seem to come from the late fifties early sixties - prices are 1d 2d 6d etc.
Also a Red Rover from 1959, if anybody remembers them.

On looking around I found that there people who will pay "silly money" for these items - one railway ticket went for nearly ?300!

The website is a send up, don't know why though.
