Hello there...

I'm working up in london for a while and have been getting the train from feltham to waterloo. Buying a weekley season ticket (�36.20), this is a paper/card one that I have to keep taking out and putting through turnstile machine each time....

My question is, how do I get this transfered to an oyster card, and is this possible?

Rang up the oyster helpline, but was slightly confusing... they reckon I can only use and oyster card if I buy a zone ticket ?

Help please,

Thanks,

Simon

You can't get it transferred onto an Oyster card.

For Feltham you would need to buy a zones 1-6 travelcard at a tube station - it's �47.60 a week. If you buy it at Feltham (which you can) it will still be paper. Only tube stations sell it on Oyster.

So a lot extra for a small amount of convenience.

There are plans to extend Oyster so in the long run what you want may become possible.
