Hello,

I'm after two bits of advice, if anyone can help.

I'm travelling out to Grays during the strike next week. Assuming it all
goes ahead, there's nothing running via Grays at all. The best way I can
work out is train to Upminster, then the 370 bus to Lakeside, then
Ensignbus to Grays. Is that best or is there something else I haven't
thought of?

Separately, I'm going *from* Grays into London on a non-strike day (a
weekend, actually, so no peak restrictions?). I'll be travelling in by
train, then doing a few tubes and buses (no more NR/Overground after I
get to Fenchurch St) in Z1 or Z1-2 but probably not enough to reach a
cap. I've got a 16-25 railcard and the discount on Oyster. Is it cheaper
to get a paper travelcard or PAYG, and if the latter then how soon can I
expect to hit a cap?

Thanks for any help - I normally keep on top of the cheapest tickets,
but Oyster on NR has just confused me so far...!
