- Arriva Trains Wales
- c2c
- Chiltern Railways

one day off peak (travelling after 0930) Zones 1-2 travel card is £4.80

You can also pay a £3 refundable deposit on a oyster card (plastic credit card size smart card - electronic re-useable ticket) which you then can load up with money (£5 denominations) and 'Pay as You Go' a bus ride is 90p single - get off when you want, tube travel £1-£2 (depends on the zones u travel - 1-2£ is for zones 1+2) with oyster, you will never spend more than the cost of a travel card. So for example, load the oyster card up with £5, travel between 0930-0430 the next day and the most youll pay is £4.80 - bus rides are included on this cap.

or you can buy a paper season ticket or have this loaded onto your oyster card - you can buy 3, 7 day tickets (7day zones 1+2 - £21) or one month, annual...

for touristey stuff, the overground isnt much good - only really good if you live in zones 2-6

i would suggest using a oyster on top of your interrail, especially for zone one travel -

Oyster tube single = £1.50
Without oyster = £4.00 (yes, FOUR ENGLISH POUNDS!:O

Oyster Bus Single = £0.90
Without oyster = £2
