Lags Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Oyster cards. Can you use these on overground trains? say a journey from London waterloo to Clapham Junction ( south west trains) Clapham Junction to London Victoria ( southern trains) or Vauxhall, strawberry Hill to Kingston (south West trains)?

kowenicki Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 (edited) Overground and underground. I'm not a London lad but I think they are good zones 1-9 so you should be fine. I just use use my bank card the same way as the Oyster card on my trips when I'm down there these days to be honest... not being a London resident.

Dave_Og Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Yes. But easier these days just to use contactless bank card. One less thing to carry/lose. There are mileage limits on how far out of London oyster can be used but those routes would be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ackey Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Touch your contactless card on the entry and exit readers and it will debit your account the journey cost. You can also use Apple/Android pay if you have that on your smart phone / device. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
