When I travel to London, I usually include a one day travel card in my return fare from my National Rail station, which is well outside London.

I do, however, have an Oyster card but I last used it in May 2016. My questions are
- Will it work straightaway when I transfer to the Underground at my main line London terminus?

- Are there any ways of booking a ticket from a National Rail station and purchasing zone 1 Underground tickets at the same time?
