It was 9.00 pm but to get on a bus to our hotel we each had to buy an Oyster card for 7.50 pounds each to make a bus journey the fare of which was only 1.50 each. But you get the 7.50 back when you turn the card in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are also still places insist on cash. There are an increasing number of places who will NOT accept cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotandsticky Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Find someone coming over from the UK will cash and offer them a better rate than TT Currency or Superrich. You will be ahead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On this occasion we were staying 7 miles from the airport in a hotel in our old home town to visit friends and collect a car for our holiday. Normally we stay at the Hyatt Heathrow Hotel which is a 4 star hotel but provides no shuttle bus to guests. It is however served by the regular red buses which are free around the airport perimeter.

No , you did not buy an Oyster card for 7.50 GBP , you paid a 5 GBP deposit for the Oyster card (Which is refunded when the card is surrendered ) and you paid 2.50 in fares to top up the Oyster cards . You can also pay fares using UK ATM cards . Its not a rip off scam . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
