 | |  |  | The tube: The Tube - the best way to get around town | Tip Rating:   |  |  | |  |
The tube is the best way to get around London - and it is fun....ok, not in peak hour!! As much as Londoners whinge about the tube, it is still an excellent method of transport, with lines criss-crossing the city and outer boroughs. To work out the best way to get to your destination, you can pick up a tube map at any station, and you can also ask there for advice if you are unsure of the best route. As some stations have multiple tube lines passing through them, you may find that you have several options. If you have internet access you can use http://journeyplanner.tfl.gov.uk to find the quickest and easiest route to take. In central London you may find that some tube stations are very close together and it may be just as fast to walk between places, as it can take some time to get underground to the tube platforms. You may also find that some station interchanges are quite a walk - particularly, for example, if you change trains between Monument and Bank stations - you may find it takes you 10 minutes to walk between trains! These days, most Londoners use Oyster Cards, which are electronic cards that are used to store your weekly/monthly/annual tube tickets. You can also have 'pay-as-you-go' credit on your Oyster Card, which is perfect for those not travelling every day. You just pay for each trip as you go, but you will only be charged up to the cost of a normal 'Day Travelcard', which makes this a good method for visitors to London. You can add credit to your card at the ticket office, or at the machines at each tube station. Just touch them to the ticket barrier as you enter and exit the stations - it is that easy…..just make sure you do 'touch in and out' every time (even if the ticket barrier is open), or you will be charged the maximum fare for your journey. Oyster cards can also be used on buses. Leave a Comment Theme: Subway/MetroWebsite: http://tube.tfl.gov.uk/ Other Contact: http://journeyplanner.tfl.gov.uk
