Hi Janet,

I can confirm that accompanied children under 11 go free (we did the same journey with two under 11) and that you can pay with Oyster or contactless (we used both, as I had contactless on my phone and my wife had Oyster).

Regarding the cost, I can only say that a return peak-time trip from Euston to Watford, plus a couple of trips on the Overground, cost £15.70. Don’t ask me how that works because I never quite grasped the fare system.

cheers

OK, thanks. It gets a bit confusing for an outsider (me being Spanish) with all these different companeis of railway. Thanks a lot for your help!

Hi there,

We are planning on doing the same thing: visiting the HP studios, and I am scratching my head trying to figure out the Euston to Watford journey. Do you know if it is possible to pay as you go with Oyster cards? From previous posts, it seems that contactless bank cards are working, but I’m not sure about Oyster. We are a group of 5, with 2 adults having contactless cards and 2 kids with Oyster cards, plus one 7-year-old who travels free (is that correct?). Do you reckon we would be able to pop by Euston station without having bought any train ticket and then just use contactless and Oyster to catch a 20-minute train to Watford (London Northwestern Railways or West Midlands Railway)?

Thanks for your time and help!

Cheers

Julio
