Jay 37,300 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 So anybody else going to see the Harry Potter studio tour in Leavesden? https://www.wbstudiotour.co.uk/ I don't know if its possible to try to organize a group tour (10 people minimum) unless a bunch of you reply and commit to a time real soon? The times Marcy and I can do are Thursday Oct 25 @ 9:30, 10:00, 10:30, 11:00 Friday Oct 26 @ 10:30, 11:00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicist 4,643 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Both dates are OK, though 09:30 is cruel. 10:30, 11:00 are OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,174 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I'll definitely join the big meeting before and/or after the concert, but I'll probably skip any earlier activities. Too much to do and not much time, I'm not even sure yet whether I'll fly in on Wednesday or Thursday evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,300 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Available tours are dropping off fast - already, 10:00, 10:30, and 11:00 on that Thursday are no longer available! I think I'm gonna book us for the 9:30 right now before its gone too. Thursday works better for us than Friday I think. We might want to explore that part of the country instead of heading right back into London after, and on Friday I'm sure we'll want to all get together in London before the concert somewhere, yes? EDIT: We're booked for 9:30 on Thursday the 25th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,300 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I'm guessing you selected 1 adult before going to that screen? Try selecting 2 adults and maybe the results are different. Either that, or they added 10:00 and 11:00 availability since I ordered half an hour ago. Even in your screenshot, the 10:30 is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicist 4,643 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I chose 2, but anyway, you bought the tickets and 09:30 is for really early birds (you probably need an hour to get there). I would be much too lazy to get up and have coffee till 08:30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 On 8/14/2018 at 8:32 PM, Omen II said: An alternative to buying a Visitor Oyster card is to use a contactless card, as you then benefit from weekly as well as daily capping (and would therefore never pay more than the cost of the equivalent weekly travel card). Do you literally mean a regular debit or credit card? So instead of pushing one's oyster card up against the scanner you simply scan one's bank card instead?

Yes, as long as it has the contactless symbol on it the card should work and will just deduct the correct fare for your journey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Oh that's cool. I'll just tap my debit card up against the scanner then and walk right through. So would you say that would be the most affordable way to pay based on a two day stay, Omen? Also, would we need to register beforehand or anything like that? Sorry for all the questions. Btw Steef, how many days are you here for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would not need to have registered the card (although it is useful to have an account at www.tfl.gov.uk as a convenient way of checking your journey history). If it is a recently issued card, you might need to make a contactless chip and pin payment first to ensure that the card works. I reckon that would be your best bet if you already have a contactless card. Quintus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted September 5, 2018 Author Share Posted September 5, 2018 If you are using a Dutch Debit Card, you should be able to see the money withdrawn straight away if you check your banking app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oyster keeps track of that. You are charged the same amount whether you use an Oyster card or a contactless card to pay for your journey, while the same daily capping rates also apply to both. If you register your contactless card you are able to check journey history on the website or app. Contactless cards also have weekly capping (which Oyster cards do not have currently, although TfL is working on it).
