Banned for life from working in financial services after dodging fares worth an estimated Ј42,550.

A question about : Why is being 1 stop out of zone 6 so difficult?

It's so convoluted.

Is it cheaper to journey into zone 6 and go from there?

Is it cheaper to get a return ticket or use oyster [does oyster upgrade the ticket into a return for you or charge you two singles?]

It's horrible with rip-off prices the second you step one stop out of zone 6 and an insanely over complicated number of options.

National rail indicates that oyster will do the equivalent of a return journey so i'll probably go with that but it is absurd.

A question about : [National Express]bought a ticket in advance but there was no seat.

I bought a ticket from Sutton to Gatwick airport through Post Office. Due to my flight schedule, It was 03:06 am coach-No. A3.

The coach arrived about 20 mins later and the driver refused to take me because there was no seat. He said it has overbooked. His attitude was like[I wish you were not there]. Ha ha ha.

A question about : Best way from Plymouth to Heathrow

I'm travelling to Heathrow in about 2 weeks. Trying to decide between train or coach.

I haven't travelled on a coach for years and wonder how it compares with train travel?

Ant advice would be welcome thanks.

A question about : Any problems with ditching Oystercard now?

Now that I can use a contactless credit card for travel in London it seems I might as well take my Oystercard back and reclaim the deposit on it. But before I do so I thought I might ask on here if anyone has had any problems with using a credit card on tfl. If my credit card doesn't work then I have to pay the cash fare which is a lot more, so I have to be confident in my credit card. So how's the credit card system working?

A question about : Low Flying Aircraft Disrupting My Journey.
