Would Oyster benefit me?

However, you would be able to reduce your costs by avoiding travelling through Zone 1. Possible routes would be: East Croydon - Clapham Junction - Vauxhall - Brixton East Croydon - Balham - Stockwell - Brixton East Croydon - Herne Hill - Brixton (not many trains on these routes) East Croydon - Beckenham Junction (Tramlink) - Brixton This would enable you to travel on a Z2-6 Peak One Day Travelcard at £7.40 per day. The TfL Journeyplanner also shows an alternative route of train E. Croydon - Tulse Hill and then bus 2 or 432 to Brixton. It estimates this journey time 00:36 so if it is correct it would not take longer time than train/tube via Victoria. With this train-bus route a Z3-5 7-day travelcard will save some more money because it costs £18.40. Divided by 3 days that is about £6.13 a day. Then, a few pounds more can be saved by buying monthly or longer travelcards. -- Olof Lagerkvist ICQ: 724451 Web: http://here.is/olof |
