Wrong - pre-pay Oyster caps at a cheaper rate than travelcards.


Only if one doesn't want to use NR.

For most tourists touring central London this is not an issue.

Hmm,
Actually, very few tourists use NR services (which they usually refer to
as "Overground" in my experience.

Greenwich
Most go either by boat or by DLR. Both take them nearer most points of
interest than the NR services.

Richmond (& Ham House)
District Line usually.

Hampton Court
Yes, that one is a "biggie" for Overground. Probably the biggest buy
far I'd say.

Crystal Palace
Few go there.

Hampstead Heath
People usually end up taking the tube to Hampstead. Not especially
convenient but as with Richmond, that's where they see the relevant word
on the Tube Map!

The other NR-only destinations that spring to mind for me are Eltham
Palace and Syon Park. But the non tube services are usually a
challenge to all but the most adventurous!
