    I'd just be looking on the National Rail Enquiries website.

    If you are just going for the day you can buy a travel card at Arlesey which will be valid for the train, and in London.

    If you are going for a couple of days you might be best just getting a return to Kings Cross, then buy a travel card at Kings Cross.
  • Have a look on the train line ( i cant put the link up as i am new on here) that might help

    Have a look, but don't buy from the trainline as they charge you booking fees/delivery fees when it is free (and probably cheaper) buying from the train operators themselves (or Red Spotted Hanky)

    No point saving £3 on a train ticket to be charged £3 in fees

    I never understand why anyone pays to use Trainline when this is free:
    http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/

    It then links direct to the train company websites, where I've never been charged any fee.
  • Thanks for all your help :0)

    If you are only going to a destination and back (i.e. not travelling around the Tube, getting on and off a lot), you may be better off getting a return to KX and then an Oyster when in London.
