london travel cards

[222007]

Im hopeless if im honest at these things and knew someone here could help.

My brother is going to be travelling from oakham to Londons o2 arena on the 18th of this month now the bit to london is easy but does a travel card cover him to north grenwich as im not sure. Also i have an oyster card could he use that to get there?

Also whats the cost if he uses oyster? so i know how much he needs on it

He can use the oyster or a travelcard, he'll need to go from Kings Cross St Pancras - London Bridge then the Jubilee to North Greenwich

Yes, North Greenwich is in Travelcard Zone 3. If he's there for just the day I'd suggest he purchases a Zone 1 - 4 Travelcard (because Off Peak rates are available with a 1 - 4 but not a 1 - 3), or consider purchasing an Oakham Travelcard ticket.

It is, but it's also in zone 2. As long as you travel from the Central London direction and not from the Stratford direction then you only need a zone 1 and 2 travelcard. If he's only making the one return journey then is it possible to buy an Oakham to Underground zone 1 and 2 return? If not the oyster option is £1.80 each way off peak so you'd need £3.60. My hesitation over the oyster option is that (assuming he's off to a show/concert/event) there's a high chance of failing to touch in properly at North Greenwich on the way home.

I have just realized that he can't use your Oyster if it has staff travel privilege's loaded on to it.

No it doesnt. I wasnt aware you could get PRIV rate oyster? I've had the oyster card since about 2005 and rarely used it TBH but does come in handy every now n then

Priv Oyster is only available for safeguarded staff.
