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?).

All LU ticket offices and other ticket offices with Oyster equipment
issue 7DTC on Oyster only. All other National Rail ticket offices still
issue them on paper.
