To use an Oyster card, touch the card on the yellow reader at the gates as you enter and end your journey.Using contactless (card or device) or an Oyster card to pay as you go is the easiest way to travel. You only pay for the journeys you make and it’s cheaper than buying paper tickets (train companies may offer special deals on some journeys).As a general rule a Travelcard is more expensive than an Oyster card or Contactless payment card.
