Yep - done this before. Are you saying I could do this at Canons Park for the whole journey?

Yeah, you can use contactless on virtually any public transport in London.

Just use a contactless card.

Do not go to Crystal Palace, the ground isn’t there.

Either Norwood Junction, or Selhurst/Thornton Heath. Although there is a limited service to Selhurst/Thornton Heath this weekend due to engineering works, so Norwood Junction is your best bet.

Yeah pretty sure that’s fine. Use it all the way to zone 9!

Sorry, I meant this

That’s fine. I usually go for drinks beforehand at Crystal Palace as there are some great pubs there, then get the train to Norwood Junction. The number of times I’ve seen away fans getting off at Crystal Palace as I’m getting on is higher than you’d think.

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

EASY

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
