Anyone know if the rules for add-on travelcards has changed?

Are the travelcards add-ons still available?
I'm off to Birmingham in a few weeks and have a few hours spare so where is the best place to get some photos within the Centro area but away from main stations.
Any ideas?
Not sure if this has been posted but the Daily Mail is doing a train ticket promotion Here
