Being a novice about London, I'm looking for some fares help. I've travelled a few times in the last six months for my job, so simply used an Oyster and claimed back the costs.
However, next week I'm off on holiday with my wife for six nights in London and five nights in Paris. Fares, between home, London and Paris are all sorted, but I'm unsure about daily fares. I had planned to use my oyster and get another for my wife, however saw something about daily off peak travel cards, which look cheaper overall for our needs of travel after 9:30am.
Firstly, I'd like to clarify if the daily travel cards cover all modes, tube and rail in particular, second, there are daily caps on Oyster, but do these agragate, so that you could pay say £8.40 on rail, plus £4.40 on bus, plus whatever on the Emirates Line ? I'm staying in Zone 5, don't intend to go outside Zone 5 at this time.
Thirdly, is there an Oyster type system in Paris and do I just grab one at the Gare de Nord ?
Comments would be most welcome
Thanks in advance
