Good video to see how the machine issues a paper ticket although not recommended for visitors. Either outboundary Z1-6 travelcard if coming in from a rail station outside of London, or Oyster/Contactless pay will probably be better value.
Is there some kind of 2-week pass that allows you to use it on any subway train, any bus? I was originally going to land in London Gatwick Airport but I changed it to Heathrow Airport because it is only a 1 ride to get to the hostel from Heathrow vs. multiple from Gatwick. I have to take the healthrow express and get off somewhere around Paddington Station. If I took Gatwick, I would have to get off Marylebone. Or is there a station that is more recommended, more safe? I'm getting off at night around 8:15 p.m. on a Friday night at Paddington Station. Is there a preference of using US dollars vs. pounds? I'm coming from Los Angeles and my friend told me its cheaper to use the currency of the country you're in over US dollars because of overcharging. And then, when I want to go to places like Big Ben, London Eye, it requires me to get on Marylebone and take either of these trains - Southern (Green), Thameslink (white and colored train), and Jubilee (red train), Bakerloo, Overground, Victoria. I am so worried, I'm taking my first alone trip and want to have a train ticket pass to make things easier if possible. Worried about costs too. My hostel is on Cosway St and Bell Street - Bell House Hostel but I haven't booked it yet because there are too many to choose from. There's others like Publove White Chapel but am worried of dangeorous areas. I've heard of Oystercards or TravelCards, worried about getting lost, etc.
This is a bit of a loaded question. I would have to look into the address to be sure , however london train system works pretty well. I had know issues. My first time in London I used the Pass it worked well. Also I would exchange my money at Lax if you can. They usually do it for a flat fee. Give me a couple to check on address.
@Dabesttravel ok. I wish there was some 2 week pass. Staying for 12 nights. Was originally planning to stay for 17 but tickets got too expensive. There was an airline called Norse Atlantic but inwent with Aer Lingus because Norse had ridiculous suitcase fees
Yeah those cheaper airline got crazy baggage fee. Also I can give you the name of the hostel I stayed at right near tower Bridge and tower of London. If you don't mind riding a bike they have the Santander bikes . It 2pounds a day with unlimited rides and stations are everywhere.
@Dabesttravel huh ok. Hard to choose hostels since there's so many. I only went by the area. Most of the hostels are so far away from Central London but the best hostel I thought I found was near the hyde park area because I thought it looked safe
@thenightstreamer4702 hype Park seemed safe. I rode through london on a the bikes even at night I felt pretty safe. I like there is a video up of me riding at night you can get a feel. Any other questions feel free to ask. Also the oyster card is not unlimited rides and there are zones and the for you go the more it cost. Also I have never taking the Heathrow express. The regular train is just as good if have the time.
I'm traveling to London next week. So I just have to tap in once I enter the tube and tap out when I exit it. Is that right? And how does it work if you take a bus ?

Thank you for sharing this information.British train tickets are becoming more expensive these days, Luckily I found a 5 percent discount.
Thank you very much! What a wonderful explanation!!!
Thanks so much for your feedback 😀. Hope to get more videos up soon
I also have a good discount to share!
Going to need this for this year
Thanks for your comment. Also they bike option that way cheaper. It's about 2 pounds a day if you are ok with riding a bicycle.
Also if you have any other questions feel free to ask
I've also discovered a really good discount!
Never buy paper tickets, they are overpriced, buying a Oyster smartcard is better value as it only costs £3.10 and not £6.40
Please , can you tell me how can I buy it ?
@@abdomedhat9857 not all stations sell it, but for those that do go to a ticket machine and click buy new Oyster card, I believe
@@GTLPT What happens when you arrive with childs over 11 that do not have their Oysters? What option do you have?
@@SebaZero You can purchase new Oysters at the machines or in local Newsagents
@@GTLPT But those Oysters aren't exclusive for adults? Thanks for your reply
I have a knack for finding top deals and would love to help you save money too.

who uses a paper ticket in the tube
Thanks for watching. I have some other video. In other countries
I see the contactless logo on your card, you didn't even need to buy a ticket and should have just tapped in & out with that
Whats the price difference?
@@za906 many times £3 plus
I'm traveling to London next week. So I just have to tap in once I enter the tube and tap out when I exit it. Is that right? And how does it work if you take a bus ?
@@za906 bus you tap on entry in london
I believe there is also a "hopper" fare so you can board another bus within around an hour and not get charged
Can you add an annual travel card onto the Oyster card?
I am not sure. I have a friend who lives there I will ask.
@@Dabesttravel Ok thanks!
@lukefirth7496 I did check with him, but he wasn't sure. Sorry.
However you can just use your bank card to tap in and out of the station if your card has that option.
Is ticket for free
No it is not. Prices vary per trip
