As someone who lives 350 miles from the capital, but visits about four
times a year and find it inconvenient to go looking for a newsagent that
sales travel cards, is it worth my getting an Oyster?
Yes, get Oyster Pre-Pay (£3 deposit for card) and benefit from being
able to walk onto Tube trains without queueueueuing for tickets, using
cashless buses, and having lower fares all round.
You are also permitted to lend the Oyster to anybody, who can take
advantage of these features.
I would suggest putting about £20 of credit on the card.
If you register the card, you can get a refund if it gets lost, but
still lend it to friends.
