Does a ZONE U12* LONDN ticket include bus travel?

[junetwo]

Good morning,

The title says it all - does a ZONE U12* LONDN - Cambridge ticket (for example) allow me to take the 214 bus to Kings Cross?

Thank you

I think the U is underground

All modes tickets have a Z (anything within zone)

 

[junetwo]

Zone 1-2 travelcards include unlimited bus travel (in all zones) without mentioning buses at all, so I wasn't sure. The actual ticket states "London Undergrnd Zone 1-2" as the destination.

No, it is only valid for underground travel to a zone 1-2 destination. If it was a Travelcard, it would carry that word on the ticket but from Cambridge it would also be issued to zones 1-6 as you would pass through all zones on the way to London.

Ok, Thank you for clarifying.

Do all outboundary Travelcards include zone 6?

Just to clarify, is the OP travelling from an origin in the London area, to Cambridge, and, if so, does this affect the advice given thus far?

The direction makes no difference.

And DLR and Elizabeth Line!

So noted, but presume this is one of those flows where equivalent fares are sometimes different if travelling away from London, rather than travelling into London?

But only valid on the Elizabeth line in the core between Paddington and Abbey Wood/Stratford*. That said, for a Zones 1-2 ticket, you wouldn’t be trying to go to the likes of Acton Main Line or Maryland in Zone 3 anyway, but it’s worth pointing out for other tickets issued to/from Underground zones.

*Stratford isn’t actually in the core unlike Whitechapel, but Liverpool Street to Stratford is an interavailable route so you can use an LU ticket to Stratford anyway on both the Elizabeth line and National Rail services.

And Thameslink core (West Hampstead - Elephant & Castle / London Bridge) which is an interavailable route as well.

The fares may vary but the validity is the same.
