Getting A Bus In London

[Redhelen72]

For the first time in over a decade - can we still pay cash?
Also will be arriving at Tottenham Hale and travelling to Muswell Hill Broadway anyone know what bus to get?
When I lived there you used to be able to get a bus from TH to Turnpike lane and then one onto MHB - any help out there?
Cheers

You can't use cash at all, -it's all cards, Oyster, contactless bank cards and so on. You tap/swipe the machine beside the driver as you get on, and unlike on the Tube, you don't have to do anything when you get off. Fares are capped - on a recent trip to London, I took three buses in one day, and it cost me around £4.75 in total.

Sorry, I forgot to add that I know nothing about routes - but I think the tfl/TFL (Transport for London) journey planner might be useful.

OK thanks I may use my pay as you go credit card then rather than debit card - at least if I get ripped off then they won't get much lol

Jeez and the stanstead express is expensive now

Thanks,Rh. I've been using my debit card - usually on the Tube and the Docklands Light Railway - for four or five years and have never had any problems.

Thanks for your help

You're very welcome.

bigger trains on the express now, so you might even get a seat for your money.

Bus 230 to Turnpike Lane and a 144 from there, helen. If you fancy a trip on the tube, take the southbound Victoria Line from Tottenham Hale to Finsbury Park and bus W7 from there. It would scarcely be any quicker, though.

If you take the bus it will cost you £1.55. You can take any number of bus journeys for that price, provided you touch in to them within an hour.

Cheers NJ, Tottenham used to be my stomping ground but that was 20 years ago and I just used to get the bus from Bruce Grove most of the time.
