What's the best mode of transportation for the least expense?

From the hotel, a quick bus ride to Hayes & Harlington station, where
there are 3 or 4 trains an hour to Paddington, and then can catch the
tube to wherever. A Travelcard will cover both legs, but Oyster isn't
valid on those trains.

Or rather, *Oyster pay as you go* isn't valid. It's also possible to get
period travelcards put on an Oyster card, and those will be valid.

I mention this because if you're staying for more than a few days, a
secen-day travelcard might be better value than pre-pay or a string of
dady travelcards, and you can get that on Oyster (is there still a choice
of paper or plastic for 7DTCs?).
