If you use a travelcard on national rail stick to a paper ticket. With
Oyster you pay *more* money. What a con.

If you buy your Travelcard on Oyster from South West Trains (not sure
about other TOCs) they give you the same discount for poor performance
that you'd get with their paper version.


How many SWT stations in London have the facility to sell Oyster cards?
It's only 2 or 3. Same for SET.


If you care about the discount, you'll go out of your way once a year
to buy your Travelcard.


I buy monthly (as I think the majority of people do). An annual Z1-5
travelcard is a lot of money to pay in one lump sum.
