Hi, next Saturday I shall be travelling return from Kings Cross to Upton Park on the underground. I see that cash fares for thgis journay are £4.00 singles at all times. I also see that if you have an Oyster card it automatically caluclates this fare at being off peak at £2.20. Heres where my query begins! Its a £3 deposit plus a payment of £5 credit when you get a card. The £8 I would have to pay for the card equals the same as the £8 for two single fares. Getting the card would be a lot less hassle on the day for myself, but if I am reading it correctly I see that the card then automatically tops iteself up if it goes below £5 credit balance. Is this right, and if so will it then add another fiver to my costs? Alternatively is there is there another ticket type I could purchase that may be more suitable.
