New Oyster card for London visitors

Transport for London have announced a new partnership with Gatwick Express for the train company to sell Oyster cards through their outlets. They’ll be selling a new branded card called Oyster Card for Visitors at their Gatwick Express ticket offices and on board trains from Gatwick to Victoria station.

The card will be preloaded with ‘pay as you go’ which means when you touch in and touch out on buses and Tubes you’ll be charged the lowest fare posssible. The cards will be ready for use as soon as you buy them and can be topped up with credit as you need it. One of the benefits of the card is that the money or credit on it never expires, so if there’s any left on the Oyster card at the end of your trip it’ll still be good the next time you come to London

The Gatwick Express is the fast nonstop train service that runs between Gatwick Airport and London’s Victoria station. Trains leave the airport every 15 minutes and the journey takes about 30 minutes, there are also screens on the platform at Victoria giving flight information for planes at Gatwick. Among the airlines flying into Gatwick are American, Continental, Delta, Northwest, British Airways and Virgin Atlantic.
