Hi,
I'm planning to travel from Crayford to St Neots on Friday 9th July, returning on Sunday 11th July.
On the Friday, the plan is to get the 9.31 or 9.42 from Crayford to London Bridge, and then get the 10.31 from there to St Neots. I won't know until the Sunday what train I'm getting from St Neots back to London, but it will be around 6 or 7pm.
As I have a 60+ Oyster Card, I'm thinking I can use this for the part of the outward and return journeys within the Oyster Card area. The question is do I use it from Crayford to Finsbury Park (and vice-versa on Sunday) and a paper return ticket from Finsbury Park to St Neots or get a return ticket from Boundary Zone 6 to St Neots? Which of these would be the better option, and is there much difference in price?
I am aware of the Senior Railcard, but I'm not sure I will be making enough journeys to show a saving, taking into account the cost of the railcard.
This will be my first journey combining the 60+ Oyster and a paper ticket, so any advice would be most welcome.
