I don't normally come into London by train but used my Oyster PAYG this morning. I should be going back to New Eltham (i.e. a return) but if the Hither Green problem persists, I'll go back to Eltham and get the bus. Will this be more/less/or the same as a return plus bus fare?

As from the 2nd Jan I think you can.
You can as of this year - I've finally bought one as I can use it on trips to The Valley now.
Umm...Am I missing something here?
Jorge - It should be the same price as going to New Eltham because the National Rail fares are zonal just like the Underground (& they're in the same zone).
Bonkers system though, where I am I have to go out of London and back in by train to get to the Valley (Bexley > Dartford > Charlton). That's an £8 return for a schoolboy absolutely ridiculous and put me off getting a half-season ticket after my shoulder injuries put me out of playing for the rest of the season!
Anyway, no Jolly, you don't - there's a loop train that runs down the Sidcup line & basically turns left just after Crayford and comes up the Woolwich line.
Anywho I'll have to look into that (also I moan but there is a bus that goes over Shooters Hill towards Blackheath which stops literally right next to where we park when we go to matches and I get free bus travel)!
Yeah but not as regular, now its every half hour, never used to be, well I dont think anyway
