Oyster card

 

[Campbell]

Red Buses are £1.50 a journey anywhere, tubes prices are zoned, average about £2.50 a journey paid with your contactless card. If you get too incapacitated, call an UBER

 

[PSQ]

Tube and a pre-paid Oyster card, just touch it against the barrier at either end of your journey.

 

[farenheit]

Debit card same price as oyster so might as well use that

Tube and a pre-paid Oyster card, just touch it against the barrier at either end of your journey.

You can do that with a credit or debit card now with those magic chip thingys.

A weekend in London makes for a very nice break.

But the best bit is sinking into the train seat at Kings Cross and realising just how lucky we are to live where we do, and not having to put up with the madness of living in an open air asylum.

As above, Oyster cards are as great as the city itself. ??

Even cheap just dab your contactless debit card on entry and exit tube gates.
Often The Oyster card is set at a certain price and unless your using it to the max often cheaper way we found on recent recently.

Had a short break there at the start of the month, even missed showday!!!
Absolutely loved it, defo going back next year. Was told by a London lady we were chatting to, that a £4 oyster day card allows you to travel on buses etc all day. either that or I picked her up wrong.

Off to Twickers on Saturday after travelling down Friday afternoon on the train. Car left behind in Shropshire, even my bike is no-no in the ULEZ... Transport will be by tube and using a Debit card

Tricky when doing a family of 4 - each traveller needs to use different cards as the back-office can't work out the 4 journeys. From the tfl website :

You can pay for someone else's travel with your contactless card or device if they're travelling with you. You need to pay for your own travel with a different card or device.

Just remember to "check out" as you go through the barriers..!!

I think from memory that she's right. Certainly the standard Oyster card lets you use the buses and the Thames riverboats as well as the tube - great value for easy travel.

Must be something about our locality as most folk love London. It's a brilliant place ??

Forget the oyster card, that was yesterday. Any contactless card gives you the same benefits and does not require a holding deposit.

eh? unlimited trips for £4 a day, but you'd rather pay £1.50 a pop!!!

Depending of the age of the children see above. I’m not sure how you can use the same contactless debit card for four people. Discounted Oyster cards are available for young people.
