No, it doesn't, it has a gbp3 deposit, which can be refunded on its
return. It therefore does not cost anything, except the time spent
obtaining and returning it.

Instead of just getting a return fare from your Sussex station to
Victoria you can of course buy a Day Travelcard which won't cost
much more - a Day Travelcard would give you unlimited use of the bus,
rail and underground network. This might sound like overkill but I
suspect it won't £4 (i.e. £2 x 2) more than a Cheap Day Return from
your
Sussex station to Victoria.

Without a Network Card discount the Day Travelcard add-on from Cambridge
is £5 now, so I doubt it will be much less from Sussex.

Oyster sounds like the best bet to me. I don't use mine for months at a
time.

It's a nice walk from Victoria to the RA, especially if you go the long
way round to come through St James's park as well as Green park.



Unfortunately that is not the case when you are nearly 80. Vic-RA is
impossible to walk.

Certainly don't bother with Oyster, it'll be far too much like hard work
for just one return journey.



When we last came up about two years ago there were ticket machines at
every stop. Have these been removed to try and make people use Oyster now?

No they are still there, the difference is the price of the tickets. A
cash single from a road-side ticket machine now costs £2.

Thanks.

In fact that is what I think the price was last time, so nothing has really
changed then.

I believe it would have been £1.20 for a cash single then.
