Perhaps some of you knowledgeable chaps can explain this to me.
I made a booking yesterday with ScotRail for a London trip and all is well with the requested (Caley Sleeper) tickets which came free by 1st class post today. (Great service BTW - why does anyone want to collect from a TVM just before travel?)
However, I had also requested 2 London Day Travelcards - like the one in the first photo below - which up to now I have ordered online from VisitBritain but as they add on quite a bit for postage I asked ScotRail telesales if they could supply them. The salesperson seemed slightly hesitant but said they could supply day passes for London Underground. The second picture shows the tickets which actually came.
I was a bit surprised to see them printed on ordinary orange ticket stock, but it's the OUT and RETURN portions that are causing me concern.
I was hoping to make multiple journeys by tube within Zones 1-6 without having to worry about direction of travel, doubling back and that sort of thing. Can I do that with these tickets, and if so, how do I use the OUT and RETURN portions?
I've read too many horror stories on here about people being caught with invalid tickets to want to take any risks.
