Is it cheaper to use contactless or Oyster?

Is it cheaper to use Oyster or contactless? As both cards use the same Pay As You Go system and are compatible with the TfL Oyster & Contactless app, the costs are comparable. As a tourist in London, it can be worth getting an Oyster Card as part of the London Pass.


Can you only use contactless so many times?

While contactless allows you to make payments without a PIN, it doesn't mean you can forget it entirely. Card issuers only allow five consecutive contactless transactions that can be made before a PIN is requested in order to prevent fraud.


What happens if you run out of train cards in Ticket to Ride?

You can only use the number of trains you start with so you cannot complete routes if you do not have enough trains. You can only place and claim complete routes so you don't get points for playing only six trains. You can place your trains elsewhere on shorter routes to score points.
