    11-15s can buy one day off peak travelcards at £2.60 for zones 1-7. No ID or Oyster needed.

    It looks like it is an offence. Non transferable.

    Depends on the Oyster card.

    One with a travelcard on it is not transferable.

    A PAYG one is transferable.

    Though if it has a railcard registered on it then it would not be.

    If you're talking about a Family and Friends Railcard, then that will be of no use when travelling Kings Cross, Croxley, Wembley, Croxley, Kings Cross. Those trips are all on the Underground.

    If you register at an NTF office you can get your family and friends rail card discount I believe.
    No. Not a Family and Friends Railcard.

    From National Rail...
    Railcards and Oyster pay as you go

    Senior, 16-25, Disabled Persons and HM Forces Railcard holders and holders of Annual Gold Card seasons can get 1/3 discounts on the adult Off-Peak Oyster pay as you go fare for most journeys on National Rail. They can also obtain a 1/3 discount on the Off-Peak daily price cap(see below). To qualify for these discounts, holders must register their Oyster card and Railcard or Annual Gold Card Season. This can be done at any London Underground ticket office or at a National Rail ticket office that issues Oyster cards.

    By the way... what's a NTF Office?
  • Pay as you go oyster cards are transferable but you will need one for each person.

    Only one person at a time can travel using pay as
    you go credit on an Oyster card. However, when
    you are not using it you can lend it to a friend if it
    only contains credit to pay as you go at adult rate.

    Travelcards as mentioned are not.

    Thanks for the replies. The oystercard I have is just a payg one that you buy out the machine in London. It is not registered under anyones name. Do not see the point in getting the kids one as we live in Edinburgh and do not visit London oftern (kids have never been before). Am just trying to be as prepared as poss as am recovering from a broken ankle and am worried re trip so trying to sort everything out before we go.
