    Can I use a Day Travelcard outside Zone 9 (to get to Guildford)?
    Hi guys,

    What kind of ticket do I need to buy to get to Surrey, Guildford from East London, Barking?

    If I get a Travelcard Day Anytime ticket will this be okay for me to get to Guildford and back? Because Guildford is not in a zone/outside of zone 9.

    I'll be using both the underground and national rail.

    Thanks.

    Well when i go from guildford to london i get a travel card and that covers the return home. Best thing to do is either pop into your local station or phone south west trains up. Is it possible to get a return london waterloo to guildford and a london travel card for tubes etc? I dont really know how to reavel out of london

    You need to buy a return to Guildford including LU travel zones 1-(whatever zone barking is in).

    Go to barking and get a Return to Guildford? That'll cover the cost of the tube (it'll have a cross symbol next to the 'route' part of the ticket)

    I have to go through london to get home to liverpool from guildford and my tube transfer between waterloo and euston is included
