My journeys are made wholly within London (all, in fact, within 8 miles

So, try again - how would Oyster help me?

Are you suggesting that I should pay twice for a journey that I can now
do on a single Travel Card ?

For casual use, Oyster pre-pay isn't for you. Until national rail
stop resisting the pre-pay system. It does seem unfair that your
one-day card will cost a little more on paper than on Oyster.
