Avoiding the queue has an easy answer, buy the tickets one or two
nights before either at the station where you start your homeward
jouney or when you reach Effingham Junction.

Otherwise, assuming you are travelling before 09:30 and only four times
a week, I think you can't improve matters without considerable extra
cost. Price a weekly (or four peak day travelcards) from Effingham
Junction to zones 1-6 (which would include your buses of course).


Thanks for your reply - I looked into it. Its pretty grim reading and
would cost me over double and take longer to tube from Wimbledon rather
than SWT from CLJ to RMD so its not worth it...


That's odd - I looked at an Effingham Junction to Surbiton weeekly season
(£30ish) + and an all zones travelcard season(£40 odd) - [1], it certainly
wasn't twice what you are paying now (£60odd?), and don't forget an all
zones travelcard season is usable on SWT from Surbiton - CJ - Richmond, it
is only PAYG that isn't available.

[1] because I couldn't look up the price of an EJ - 'all zones' 7 day
travelcard on the net.
