(09 Feb 2015, 6:55 pm)Adam Yeah. I'm hoping to get a Borismaster when down there. I think I've mentioned it before, but the 10 stops right outside King's Cross station, so it could be the first or last thing we do when down there.
On a side-note, as two of my cousins are coming, and with there only being 2 free tickets, I bought the extra ticket last night and collected it at the Central today before starting uni. With a railcard, £105 First Class return isn't too bad. I also ordered our Visitor Oyster Cards last night, so hopefully they'll be here soon

(09 Feb 2015, 7:06 pm)Adam haha. I've looked at the prices and they are capped. We've ordered ones covering Zones 1 & 2. For the buses, it's £1.50 for any single journey, with a cap of £4.40, so you could ride 20 bus journeys and it would still just cost £4.40. As for the Tube, it's a £2.something single for Zones 1 & 2, with a cap of £6.something, so the maximum I'm going to spend on transport whilst down there is £11 odd

(09 Feb 2015, 10:25 pm)Adam Ah. I bought £15 worth of credit on each card. Suppose I'll get another day out of it if I return.
It will certainly take a lot of planning to cram everything in. My cousins' requests so far is to ride the Underground and the London Eye, and then there's me and the Borismaster. Apart from that, we don't know what else we're doing. Something to organise on the train going down I suppose
Thank you for the suggestions though. Much appreciated

Had a nice ride out on LTZ 1112 this morning. Impressed at build quality, how quiet they are, and that you don't hear any rattles. Downside for me is the seating though, which doesn't compare to what we have on the GNE B9s for example.
