I’ve worked out how to get back to Marylebone from Barnes and roughly how long it will take me (thank goodness for tube and train apps!) so that I can tell Mr Woo which train I’ll be catching home. I have also found a rucksack because I’m rubbish at travelling light and I keep thinking of things I might need with me - like my reading glasses to be able to see my phone 🙄 I’ll be fine once I get there - honest!

StuH Mar 2019 7:45pm, 29 Mar 2019 3,046 posts	Quote Pin StuH For me travelling in from out of town, I'm sure a combined ticket/travelcard is cheaper. Am I right in thinking contactless payments are capped at the cost of a travel card?
LindsD Mar 2019 7:49pm, 29 Mar 2019 26,983 posts	Quote Pin LindsD Capped at the Oyster daily limit, which I believe is less than a travelcard but not sure.

I'll need to top it up tomorrow though, hope I'll be able to do it at the station. I haven't got a clue how to get back to where I'm staying but I'm sure someone will help advise me tomorrow. Sorry to hear that some of you have had to drop out for varying reasons, let's hope you'll be able to make another one in the future.
