Question re London's Oyster Card
Hi
I have read that you can buy a "pay as you go " London Transport Oyster card at any London tube station. I will be in London for 3 weeks and want to buy a 7 Travelpass (on an Oyster Card) which I will have to repeat 2 more times. How do I go about this? How do you buy a 7 day Travelpass on Oyster Card? Can I get one here at home - or can I get one after arriving at Heathrow? Thanks for any help Barry in Brisbane, Australia |

You walk up to the ticket office and ask for one (and hand over some money). This will be supplied with your first week's travel. Once you have the card, you can buy further travel from machines in stations or the ticket office or using 'web' top-up. Can I get one here at home Apparently there is this possibility (perhaps someone else knows more) - or can I get one after arriving at Heathrow? Yes Thanks for any help Barry in Brisbane, Australia |

I am told that you can use a credit card, but I paid with the cash I got from the ATM in the arrival area. If you want to take the Picadilly line into London (the cheapest way), you can get a pass for zones 1-2 and pay a small cash supplement for the rides from and to LHR. |

Question re London's Oyster Card
Yes, you can only get a 7-day Travelcard on the Oyster, and you can
get it after arriving at Heathrow. Your Travelcard only needs to cover zones 1 and 2 - ask the clerk for that and the add-ons to get you into central London and back to the airport again for your return trip. Don't forget the Travelcard also gets you one-third off boat trips as well.
