Including several very unhappy Forest fans travelling back from Crystal Palace.

There's absolutely nothing special about fares within a county. The two cheap fares are advance tickets tied to a specific train. You are allowed to use these as long as the quota exists and you allow enough time to change at Gloucester. If the quota has sold out then you'll be offered a more...

From my site: https://oysterfares.com/south-east-rail-pay-as-you-go-with-contactless/ So you're saying that more than half the time that contactless has been a thing is "relatively recently"? I agree that the difference hasn't been talked about enough, but TfL have certainly been talking...

I must admit I thought there were 3 extras, but I wasn't paying attention between taking the pic and posting. There are, of course, 3 languages if you include English. I've no idea why Spanish and Italian - are they the most popular destinations from Stansted? It is better than just English...

Contactless PAYG does go to East Grinstead, and to Baldock. I'm not quite sure what you're saying.

Because they control the collection of Pay-as-you-Go revenue throughout the whole project Oval area.

Assuming that the data has been signed off in time then it will be live in the system on the first Sunday in November. However, the go-live date will be sometime after that, at least a week and possibly more. I have no further info at this time.

I'll second this. Within zones 1-9 there are no paper off-peak fares apart from a day travelcard. Oyster has off-peak fares and will cap at a cheaper rate than a day travelcard, especially if not going as far as zone 6. Only note of caution is not to use it for continuous roaming or for...

Outboundary period travelcards can be sold on Oyster for Watford Junction, Broxbourne to Hertford East inclusive and Shenfield. Watford Junction is also included on a zones 2-9 and 4-9 travelcard.

I don't think so.
