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?

    I didnt think you could use Pay as you go on National rail?

    You can as of this year - I've finally bought one as I can use it on trips to The Valley now.

    I think that was suposed to be for Gary and his "free rides" on the train...

    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!

    How did I get quoted in that?

    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.

    Not quite sure, the whole system went psycho on me and my attempts to resolve the problem failed!

    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)!
