I'm also on the A-stock tour. Do I need to buy a seperate underground ticket/Oyster - or am I covered by my LTM tour ticket?

Your LTM ticket only covers you for the tour! you'll need to pay your way to Moorgate (by 0915 in the morning), and home again from Wembley Park afterwards. In other words, yes - on top of £40 you'll need a Zone 4 travelcard ...

But say I join the system at Moorgate and leave at the end of the tour at Wembley Park and dont travel except on the Tour then do I need a ticket?

And also anyone know why we have to be at Moorgate some 40 minutes before departure?

Echo that it was great to see so many forum members along also Nozzacook, Tangy and although he doesn't post nowdays juicerail...... There may have been others as well it sure was busy and I didn't know some were on the train until I saw them at Harrow. Was a great atmosphere and very emotional as the "A" stock has been the start of many an adventure and the end of a few as well.....
I will miss her greatly :(

Are you only using the word "pleb" because a Tory MP used it recently? Maybe it's a Tory thing, calling people in positions of authority "plebs" ...
