Absolutely! No Oyster in Cambridge or Putney.


But the fare increases won't affect journeys from those stations.


They will for overnight stays. These include tube travel in central
London to work when I have to buy tube singles, currently £2 (Zone 1) or
£2.20 (Zones 1 & 2).

No wonder I use my bike now if at all possible.
