Near Greenford Red Lion. *The locals will tell you when you get

TfL suggest changing busses at Greenford station but that would not
be my choice. *It is just too dull.



Do i have to pay 2 deposits?


If you get the travel cards a day in advance to start the next day
when you get the Oyster cards then there is no deposit to pay (that
is my understanding of the rules). *Otherwise yes, £3 for each card.


My understanding is that you avoid the deposits buy buying a seven-day
(or longer) season ticket. I avoided paying a deposit when I first
got my Oyster because it was for a seven-day travelcard starting right
away.
