Bus travel for nanny in greater london

6 replies

My nanny will need to travel daily (m-f) from Sunbury to Twickenham to take my DD to nursery. I'm trying to look into the most economical way for her to travel, and considering the "All London" monthly bus pass. Does anyone know how far out "all london" goes? (i.e. dos it cover Sunbury to Twickenham?)

Alternatively, can you buy a bus pass that goes from zone A (Sunbury) to zone 4 (Richmond)? I know I can buy a travel card for these zomes which covers trains as well, but it is considerably more expensive. So I don't want to do that (if "all london" goes out to Sunbury).

I had this problem recently when I got the car serviced in Thames Ditton (apparently out of greater london gggrrr) and tried to use the bus and had to pay over my oyster card!!

I would give them a ring. As far as I know, Sunbury is not considered as Greater London for the buses. There is a map on the tfl site - I'll find it for you.

the map is on this page - click on the south west link. I didn't link straight to it because it's quite big.

Thanks foxy. But I still can't work out where greater London begins and ends. I'll have to let nanny find out. I've charged her with this mission as well.

Hmm, the webpage seems to say the bus pass is good for buses outside Greater London, but not on some special buses and excursions. I bet it'll be fine ...
