Oyster PAYG on National travel

Hello

I have just spent the last hour trying to find info on this, but to no avail. So I would greatly appreciate if someone could throw some light on this:

I need to travel from central london to Southall tomorrow. The research that I did do (the successful part of it!!) showed that First Capital Connect trains operate on this route.

So, my question is - can I use my Oyster PAYG on this route or will I need some sort of travelcard. And if I do need a travelcard, is a daily one enough?

Thank you so much for taking time to read this and hope you can help.

  • You will not be able to use Oyster on this route. A Zone 1 to 4 travel card will do.

    If you get a zone 1-4 travel card programmed onto your oyster card (just go to any desk/ticket point) then all travel will be included in one travel card.
