12 minutes from London Bridge to Norwood Junction. Probably quicker than a lot of tubes.

Ah fuck, I’m confusing myself now.
Q. Can I buy one return ticket at Canons Park tube station to complete either of these (i.e. instead of buying a tube ticket Canons Park to London Bridge and then a train ticket London Bridge to Norwood)?

Just use your contactless whenever you are blocked by a barrier, until you reach destination, and never ever check how much money its taken.

No such thing as a return ticket on the tube.

Just use contactless.

Yes, you can get a cheaper “Thameslink” only ticket i think, but the dearer one will cover both.
For example its far cheaper to get a Thameslink train to Brighton than another train.

But just use a contactless card if you have one it will be cheaper and less hassle.

You can use contactless on all normal trains in London. I’m a lot further south than Norwood Junction

I was surprised to discover you can’t use contactless if you’re going to Esher.

basically if you can use an Oyster card to wherever you’re going, you can use contactless

If you present yourself to the Lord Mayor’s office he can sign you off with a travel warrant

Yeah that’s probably the easiest way of think about it. I’m zone 6 (Caterham) which is the end of the line, and as far as you can go before hitting the M25.

But I was surprised I could use it to Merstham once, but that’s because you can use contactless all the way down to Gatwick.

yeah, it’s quite confusing i guess, but norry jays is well within the PAYG zone so yeah, it’s fine

You can press it against the reader so technically it is contactful

Be sure to say “tube please!” when getting onto trains on the London Underground ™
