Transport for London journey planner

Transport for London have a very useful journey planner on their website. It covers all transport options, including cycling and walking. Type in the starting point (either place or post code) and destination point, and, if using the advanced options, also choose the time of day and modes of transport you wish to use. The system will then list the quickest routes, with timings, and even show an interactive map which follows the route to your destination.

General Transport Information

Buying a Ticket

Oyster is a plastic smartcard you can use instead of paper tickets. You can put your Travelcard, Bus & Tram Pass, or pay as you go credit on it, which you use up as you travel. Using an Oyster card tends to be cheaper than paying by cash for a flat fare single ticket.

You can buy your Oyster card on-line via the TFL website, at a station, or from the shop "AM 2 PM", at 38 the High Street, Ruislip.
