Train fare to thorpe park?

Question

basically, me and my friends are goin to thorpe park to celebrate a birthday. we are going from east london to waterloo underground station by using travel cards. from there i don't know how to get to staines station from that and i wanted to know if the travel cards will still work or do we have to buy tickets. if so how much will it cost and do we have to buy return tickets back?

Answer 1

This question was asked just a few days ago. You cannot use a Transport for London Travel Card as Staines is outside the Travel Card Zones, but a 16-25 Travel Card can be used to buy tickets. What you can do is travel to Feltham (within the travel card zone) on your cards, get off and buy a return to Staines - but whilst that will save money, you will have to hang around for the next train. Alternatively, if you have time, buy the return tickets from Feltham to Staines on line (www.thetrainline.com). A cheap day return from Waterloo to Staines is £7.30, and a standard return £10.50 and from Feltham to Staines £3.60 and £4.90. It might not, therefore, be worth it if you don't have to buy an all zone travel card to get from home to Waterloo.
