Another thing if i go from Heathrow central to wembley would the
oyster card know the difference if i want via rayners lane or
transferred to the jubilee via greenpark?

You could take a 140 bus from Heathrow to Harrow on the Hill and another
bus (223?) from Harrow to Wembley or take the Metropolitan Line, thus
avoiding central London. Unlike the Underground, the 140 bus also runs
through the night.

Alternatively, you could take the Picadilly Line from Heathrow to
Sudbury town, which is quite close to Wembley, and then get a 204 bus.

A single bus journey on Oyster is only 90p.

Where in Wembley are you going? There are several Wembley stations.

A 7 Zone 1-6 day Travelcard is unlikely to be good value for money
unless you plan to:

1) Regularly travel before 09.30
2) use National Rail a lot,
3) travel all the way from Zone1 to Zone 6 most days.

I'd be inclined to replace this with "A seven day 1 - 6 zone
travelcard is likely to be good value for money unless you never ..."

They really are hugely better value than any capping limit, even if
you only use them over five days.

In that case it might be best to get a seven-day zone 1 - 4 travelcard
on Oyster (for your explorations from Wembley), and on the same Oyster
card store enough Pay As You Go credit for your journeys between
Heathrow and the boundary of zone 4.

You will have to use the London Underground Piccadilly line for PAYG
to be valid.

If your total stay is more than seven days, it might be worth asking
for the travelcard to start in the morning and use Pay As You Go all
the way to Wembley on the first evening. If the whole visit is not
more than seven days, this wouldn't help.

Yes. It will be easiest to do it at the counter. Ask the clerk for
an Oyster card loaded with a seven-day travelcard starting the next
day (which will mean that you don't have to pay a £3 deposit for the
card itself) and ask for enough credit to be added for your first
journey to Wembley that evening (I am not sure what route it assumes,
with regard to your earlier question).

By the looks of the fares generated by the Fares Finder Heathrow T123 to
Wembley Park is priced not via Zone 1 - £1.80 peak, £1.00 off peak on
PAYG.

http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/tickets/fa...08/farefinder/

It doesn't matter what actual route you take the fare will be the same
regardless as the final charge is only worked out on exit from the
system.

Can we see a rough calculation ?

A 1-6 7D is £44.60 so you expect to exceed £8.92 on most of those five
days without 1) or 3) being true ?

Off-peak 1-6 cap is £6.50 1-2 cap is £4.80

Peak 1-6 cap is £13.30 1-2 cap is £6.30

For tourists and depending on hotel location (and time you finish
breakfast) a 1-2 (£24.20) 7D would often be better value. Buying a
off-peak 1D is £7.00 per day but there is the complication that a
Railcard discount to £4.80 is available to some.
