    Questions on getting a travelcard with a train ticket

    Thanks - do you mean I can't do it because the route is invalid or I can't do it (use a travelcard that way)? Will I be able to use London terminals ticket at West hampstead thameslink Station? Thanks.

    Questions on getting a travelcard with a train ticket

    I need to go to St Albans City from London next week. I am wondering if I could get a St Albans City to London zones 1 – 6 day travelcard with my first journey starting from London? I plan to go from Canning Town to West Hampstead Thameslink Then train from West Hamsptead Thameslink to St...

    using two season tickets

    I'm bit confused with the technicality in these arguments. Anyway my original intention of splitting the ticket is that I like the flexibility of using an oyster card. In 2016 I had a season ticket for zones 2-4 and I have been buying daily return tickets from New Southgate to PB. Now that...

    using two season tickets

    Actually it's cheaper. I can get a ticket from PB to zones 2-6 but I don't really need zones 5-6. If I get a season ticket from zones 2-4 then another season ticket from New Southgate which is in zone 4 to PB it works out cheaper.

    using two season tickets

    Zone 4. But the last station of one ticket is zone 4 while the first station of another ticket is New Southgate (in zone 4) - does that mean they are the same or not?

    I'd like the flexibility of using an oyster card in London :)

    using two season tickets

    My understanding is that previously I could not buy two season tickets (one zonal and one starting from a named station) if my train does not call on the stop. For example, I could not get a zone 2-4 season ticket and then a season ticket between New Southgate (in zone 4) to Potters Bar as the...

    Another fare related question: Canning Town to Hoxton

    actually what I meant to say was: doesn't that count as two separate journeys? One from Canning Town to Dalston Kingsland and one from Dalston Junction to Hoxton?

    Unknown transaction on my journey history

    So does that mean to avoid this unknown transaction charge I should just touch the yellow reader at Stratford on the way out? I think the unknown transaction arises because of the morning journey so what I do in the evening should not matter. I see - so a bus journey in the middle of the day...

    Unknown transaction on my journey history

    Interesting - I have not noticed. Only very recently I have tried to start touching the yellow reader rather than the pink reader in Stratford. Reason being I was talking to a colleague who makes a similar journey every day to work and she advised me that if I touch the yellow reader it should...

    Unknown transaction on my journey history

    Many thanks for your help. I've attached three such examples. One is my normal route i.e. from Canning Town to Potters Bar and back and the other one is when I travel into zone 1. Incidentally I had taken buses at lunch time in mid day. I thought that might be the reason why there was no unknown...

    Unknown transaction on my journey history

    I understand from the single fare finder (it's a good tool I didn't know it existed and that it gave you alternative route!) I have to touch the pink reader at both Stratford and H&I whereas I have been touching at just Stratford but still get charged the not-via-zone-1 fare. I didn't know I...

    Unknown transaction on my journey history

    That's why I am confused. I thought the zone 1 fare is £1.60 since I have the gold card discount loaded on my oyster card. The £2.40 is standard zone 1 price?

    Unknown transaction on my journey history

    That's a good point - I don't think I went to zone 1 on 28 or 30 November and I can't exactly remember why there were no touch out in the journey history. As to why there is no touch in on the pink reader at Stratford that's because a colleague (who commute via a similar route) gave me a piece...

    Another fare related question: Canning Town to Hoxton

    I have a zone 2-4 annual season ticket on my oyster card. I was going to Canning Town to Hoxton the other day. My journey is like this Touched in at Canning Town and took the jubilee line to Stratford Did not touch in the pink reader at Stratford (I'll explain why below) From Stratford took...

    Unknown transaction on my journey history

    I've attached three journeys - both 28 and 30 November have an unknown transaction. 23 November is what it should be. For 30 November I can't remember why I did not touch out at Canning Town at the end of the day - either the gates were open or I went to East India to go to a shop and forgot...

    Unknown transaction on my journey history

    I commute from Canning Town to Potters Bar every day. I have a zone 2-4 annual season ticket on my oyster card and I buy a daily extension paper return ticket between zone 4 and Potters Bar. My journey looks like this: Touch in at Canning Town and travel to Stratford via Jubilee Line to...

    Warning from South West Trains

    Thanks for your reply. No they didn't mention yellow cards - What are they? They definitely did not caution me and told me what would happen next. They did not offer me to sign anything. They didn't take anything away from me apart from maybe jotting down my driving license details. I can't...
