Cheapest commuting to London?

greensalad

I'm trying to work out the cheapest way to commute from Woking (Surrey) to Zone 1.

I can't seem to find out if a season ticket is available for WOK - Zone 1&2, the website only presents me with Zone 1-6 season tickets for about £364.

Is it cheaper to get a terminal season ticket for just WOK-WAT (£293) and then use Oyster for travel inside Zone 1? (£4.60 for the two journeys).

Or is a WOK - London Zone 1&2 available as my friends seem to think?

Any advice appreciated!

You are aware this is the overseas travel board?

Well, Woking IS outside Zone 6.

Yes, but south of Watford gap.

Maybe you should first explain why you think Woking or London has left the UK?

According to British Airways, London IS the UK. Nowhere else matters.

Ha, oh dear, my fault! I'll repost somewhere appropriate.

I suppose you could commute from anywhere that has a cheap Ryanair flight.

It's probably cheaper from not quite Rome to London via RyanAir than Woking-London with SW Trains.

Except that a Ryanair flight will get you to Stansted, Luton or Gatwick, which are all further from London than Woking.

There are actually around ten other Londons that have city status world wide.

And another near-twenty more towns or other kinds of small communities - some of which don't have much by way of commuter facilities at all.
