I think they're going out at the moment.

I had a "We could deliver your package" card from Royal Mail, along with a text and an email saying similar.

I can't think what else it could be...

My basketball and athletics tickets arrived on Saturday. You get an email saying that the tickets are with Royal Mail and a second email to tell you that they have been signed for.

We've moved, so sounds like we'll have a ball ache getting our tickets. The Olympic website states if you move after February 6th then you can't change your address on their system, so you should ensure mail redirection is in place.

We moved last Wednesday, and the mail redirection did sweet FA. They tried to deliver them on Friday to the old address, and then sent us a text messaege saying the tickets had been returned to sender when we weren't in. I hate the hassle of moving, and now it seems we have one more thing to sort out.

Purchased our one and only tickets today. Got an email saying some more tickets were available. Easy peasy.

Got an archery session, which I wanted. Couldn't get any canoe slalom at the fabulous facility in Waltham Abbey.

Has your redirection gone live? It takes a minimum of 5 working dates to get it set up.
There coming thru as tracked items which need signing for , if you've moved it gets scanned 'gone away' then sent to the new address and scanned in for delivery.

Hard work eh the whole London thing?

I am at a loss as to what they could have done - a quick google should answer your question.

If you are incapable of working a Zone 1-9 card, you cannot operate a capital city, how did you intend to get around? smile

I have looked on the TFL map and zone 9 is far from clear. Not being from around those parts I am not familiar with where that zone begins. I will continue my research. Thanks for your help by the way. Much appreciated.

Being zone 1-9 The travel card is valid of the whole of London and being a travel card you can use it on TFL run buses, tube, dlr and trams.
