Hi I'm traveling to London on Thursday 2nd August. I'm looking for a return ticket to be back in Birmingham on the following day, 3rd August. I absolutely need to be on the Southbank side of London by around midnight or 00:15am at the latest.
I'm not an expert on train travel. In fact I've only ever travelled twice on train before and that was a return short journey between Birmingham and Solihull. So I'm really nervous for London.
I've heard that Chiltern Railways is the cheapest operator (I'm happy to sacrifice journey time for cost, although I need to be on the southbank by 00:15 am 3rd August). I'm looking at the website of Chiltern and I just find all the options baffling
Also could anyone give me any advice on whether to go for an Oyster card or a travelcard when on the London Underground? Someone told me that it's OK to use an Oyster card on the tube for 1 day and other people on the web say it's far cheaper to have a travelcard.
I would really appreciate any advice!
