Oyster Card - all you need to know
Sunday, April 6th, 2008EUCO 2008 delegates will each receive a Transport for London OysterCard loaded with GBP10 credit. We’re very pleased that Transport for London has sponsored the OysterCards.
The OysterCard will allow you to travel around London on the underground/tube, buses, trams, Docklands Light Railway (DLR) and some National Rail services.
We’ve added new information to the EUCO 2008 website today about using OysterCards during EUCO 2008, but the most important things to note are:
- You must register your card before you first use it (you can register it by tapping it on the yellow card reader on the ticket machines at all tube stations, and following the on-screen instructions)
- You must “touch in and touch out” your OysterCard at the start and end of each public transport journey (on buses you just need to “touch in”
- The cards are loaded with GBP10 - this is enough to get you to all EUCO events, but if you use the card for your own personal travel around London - you will need to top up your balance with your own money
