Hi All,

I'll be visiting London for a couple of weeks at the end of May and
then again in September. I'll be using a couple of 7 day zone 1-2
travel cards and the zone 6 extension to and from Heathrow on this
trip.

As near as I can figure out, I could just do one transaction and get
an
Oyster card with all of that, for 47 GPB and a deposit of 3 GBP. And
the two travel cards will be used sequentially automatically.
And I can do this at Heathrow when I arrive.

And then I can add more capability to the card when I come back.

Is all of this correct?



Not quite... You have to specify the start date for each travelcard
and can only buy them one month in advance. You could pay the deposit
and for the first 7 day travelcard the first time you come and then buy
another 7 day on it the second time
