As an experiment, I tried using Uber in December, and after 3-4 cars just vanished after being assigned to me, I gave up. Looks best to avoid. You can indeed use credit cards to get on/off the tube to pay-as-you-go. I'd assume if you card lets you through the barrier then it's ok :) There's also a nice app called Moovit that is an alternative to Google Maps for directions. Take a look at https://tfl.gov.uk/, for tube maps, London travel statuses, etc. Note that the tube map is abstract; it's often faster to walk than go into the bowels of the tube, along, and up out again. For trains check out http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/. Tim > Thanks! > > Regards, > Jeff > > On Jan 21, 2018, at 09:15, John R.
