Each person must have a train ticket.

Hi

I'm off to London at the end of October and was hoping to use some of these vouchers for Tussards and London Eye etc.. We're staying near Euston & Kings Cross, so if I was to buy a national rail ticket for Euston to Waterloo or Euston to Marylebone would this qualify to be able to use with these vouchers?

Or if not then anyone suggest what ticket to buy?

Can i buy these tickets online in advance?

Cheers
Al

Not the tickets you mentioned. There are no (sensible) national rail routes as you describe.

Perhaps a single from Waterloo East to Charing Cross, or Blackfriars to City Thameslink... both at £4.00 for an Anytime Single.

These tickets can be bought at any National Rail station in advance if you like.

Buy a Travelcard at the train booking office at either Euston or Kings Cross. They are eligible for the offers and they allow you to get to the attractions to boot.

Thanks for that, could I buy a travelcard in advance from TFL website?

I assume I need a travelcard valid for the day I am visiting the attraction? I'll be visiting attractions on Saturday and Sunday so would need to get 2 travelcards for each day?

No. You must buy from a National Rail outlet. Not TfL.

Maybe as alanrowell said...

Yes.

As above. You need a ticket valid on the day you visit the attraction for each person. If you don't need a travalcard, it will be cheaper to buy a single ticket as I mentioned earlier.

Sorry I never used the trains and its been years since I was in London, if I buy a TravelCard from a National Rail Outlet in either Euston or King's Cross will this be a Travel Card that I can then use to travel around london on the tube etc.. for the day? The same as if I bought one from TFL website? but obviously as its from a National Rail Outlet it will get me into the attractions?

Yes, that's exactly right.

It the same ticket, just looks different. Does the same job travelwise, but also does the attractions two for one offer... which the TfL one doesn't.

Great new thanks for that.

Is there anywhere I can buy these in advance? ie my local train station?

and

can I buy one for Saturday and one for Sunday say on the friday we get there? or do I have to find an outlet each day?
