Can I travel by trains within London at the same price as tube ?

Hi,

Can I travel by trains within London at the same price as in case of the tube ?

Do I need to buy a separate ticket for a train ?

Can I pay by Oyster card or contactless card for a train ?

Do train journeys count into the daily fare cap ?

In case of travelling by trains in London, please mind there is a difference between London Overground and National Rail network.

You can travel by London Overground or National Rail trains within London zones using a Contactless card or Oyster card.

London Overground fares are generally the same as Tube fares for similar journeys.

From my experience, travelling by National Rail trains within London zones seems to be a bit more expensive sometimes, than travelling by the Tube.

According to the tfl.gov.uk fares, the caps for Tube, DLR, Elizabeth line, London Overground and most National Rail trains within London zones are the same.
