Travelcard survey
We distribute thousands of Travelcard diaries every year for you to record the trips you make.
For each diary completed and returned to us, we donate £2 to our four nominated registered charities:
- Battersea Dogs & Cats Home
- Scope
- Action on Hearing Loss (RNID)
- Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI)
Over the past seven years we've raised more than £350,000. Our latest donation, made in November 2012, shared £9,998 among our nominated charities.
You may receive a Travelcard diary through the post or by email. One of our surveyors may offer you a diary at a station. The diaries are simple to fill in and free to return, see below for more detail on completing a diary.
Every diary we get back is useful, so thank you to all those who have helped out with the survey so far.
Completing diaries
When completing diaries, please remember to:- Record all trips including return trips
- Record trips on London Overground as 'Rail'
- Record trips on different modes separately eg if you take the tube to Finsbury Park and then change to National Rail record the trips as separate entries on the diary
