NR Stations Issuing Oyster Cards

At present there are only a small number of National Rail stations that can issue Oyster Cards and sell associated services (top-up, travelcard seasons and OEPs) at their ticket offices.  These are as follows:

Balham Fenchurch Street New Cross
Barking Finsbury Park Richmond
Beckenham Junction Gospel Oak Stratford
Blackfriars Greenwich St Pancras International
City Thameslink Hackney Downs Upminster
Drayton Park Ilford Walthamstow
Ealing Broadway Lewisham West Brompton
East Croydon Limehouse West Hampstead
Elmers End Liverpool Street Woolwich Arsenal
Essex Road Marylebone Wimbledon
Euston

In addition, ticket vending machines at most National Rail stations within the Oyster area allow top up, purchasing weekly travelcard seasons, and setting OEPs. Those operated by South West Trains do not currently have Oyster facilities, but it is planned to rectify this issue later in 2011.

    I have an overseas visitor for a week in June 2011
    He will need to travel from Turnpike Lane to Brompton Road
    early in the morning
    How much will an Oyster card cost and will he need an identity?
    Many thanks

  2. Hi,

    No proof of identity is required. All you need is £5 for the deposit and enough pay-as-you-go credit for your journeys. The deposit will be refunded when you hand the card back in at the end of the week. The single fare from Turnpike Lane to Knightsbridge is £2.90 in the peak and £2.50 off-peak.

  4. I’d like to recommend you visit the Rail UK forum at http://www.railforums.co.uk. There is a section there called Fares, Ticketing and Routeing. If you can give as much detail about your travel plans then there are people there who will help all they can. I’m also on there and may well contribute to the discussion.
