Collecting your tickets on your key smartcard.

  • When you buy a ticket online you must collect it from your chosen station by tapping your Key Smartcard against a reader at a gateline or validator, two hours after purchase
  • When you buy a ticket from a ticket machine it must be one of our ticket machines located outside of the London area
  • You can collect tickets and activate day passes for Flexi Season tickets on our mobile app from the App Store

Smartcard readers are located either at the ticket gates or near the entrance/exit for stations with freestanding validators. Either way, they are easy to spot with a yellow disk. When travelling in the London area, use the Oyster reader at valid locations.

If you board a train without loading a ticket onto your Key Smartcard you will be travelling without a valid ticket and may be liable for a Penalty Fare

**Super Off-Peak tickets are not currently available.

To get a Key Smartcard you will need to create an account with us and we will ask you for your name, address, date of birth and contact details.

If you are a parent or guardian of a child aged 5 to 15 years, you’ll need to provide the same information online as you do to register as an adult – name, address, date of birth and contact details. However, you’ll also need to provide a passport-style digital photograph of them for their smartcard. Make sure when registering for a Child Key Smartcard, you enter your child’s details for an online account.

To complete a child’s registration, you must also verify the child’s age at any Gatwick Express, Great Northern, Southern or Thameslink ticket office along with proof of identification, such as a passport or birth certificate.

Please note, child Keycards do take longer to issue than adult cards due to the extra steps involved in the process as stated above. If your child is 16 or over, please apply for an adult card.

More information about your online account is available here

Need to hop on and off London’s underground – for work, pleasure and anything and everything in between? Travelcards, which can be easily added to your Season ticket or used as an add-on to your usual rail ticket, allow you to do just that – and you can make regular savings by buying one. They’re as suited to regular commuters to London as they are for those heading to the capital for a day out.

Your trusty Travelcard is the perfect partner for weekend or weekday trips. Use yours in London in Zones 1-6, whether as part of your commute or during a fun-filled day out in the capital.

Add a Travelcard to your c2c journey and you’ll enjoy unlimited use of the London Underground, London Overground and almost all National Rail services in Greater London. That’s not all; you can also hop on and off scheduled London buses, the Tramlink system in South London and the DLR.

Ready to get your mitts on your Travelcard? Simply purchase a rail ticket to include a Travelcard online or at the station – the choice is all yours. Just set your destination station to ‘London Travelcard Zones 1-6’ when searching for tickets to ensure the Travelcard is included. You will only need to use one ticket which will cover the whole of your journey and if you load it onto a c2c Smartcard, you’ll be able to tap in and out as you would do with an Oyster card, even if you’re not on the c2c line. How handy is that?

smart travel card london

How to travel

No, you can use this ticket without Smartcard. But you can load a Travelcard onto a Smartcard and tap in and out on London Travel Zones 1 – 6, just as you would with an Oyster card.

Why travel with a Smartcard?

You’ll get more benefits for travelling with a c2c Smartcard, including Automatic Delay Repay and loyalty points. You’ll also spare yourself the station’s ticket queues, since you’ve planned ahead and bought online.

Travelcard FAQs

  • Adding a London Travelcard to a daily ticket Travelcards allow you to travel to London and enjoy unlimited travel throughout London on National Rail, London Underground, Docklands Light Railway, Tramlink and London Bus services within London Zones 1-6. The Travelcard allows you to reach your final c2c destination within London, and then travel unlimited throughout London - using any of those services listed above. To add a Travelcard to a daily ticket set your destination station to ‘London Zones 1-6’. The c2c journey planner will return an Anytime Day Return. To add the Travelcard, click ‘other fares’ which will then give you the option to select the Travelcard.
  • Adding a London Travelcard to a season ticket Travelcards allow you to travel to London and enjoy unlimited travel throughout London on National Rail, London Underground, Docklands Light Railway, Tramlink and London Bus services within London Zones 1-6. The Travelcard allows you to reach your final destination within London, and then travel unlimited throughout London - using any of those services listed above. To add a Travelcard to a season ticket set your destination station to the London zone you require, eg ‘London Zones 2-6’ or ‘London Zones 1-6’. The planner will return the season ticket options with the Travelcard included in the price. If you're not sure which zone you need to travel to, use the London Rail and Tube services map to identify the Zone that you wish to travel within and enter it into the journey planner. E.g. London Zones 1 - 6, London Zones 2 - 3 etc.

Popular London Underground zone codes for c2c customers

  • For travel to Zone 1 search for Zone U1234.  For example, if you’re going to Westminster or Southwark.
  • For travel to Zone 2 search for Zone U2356.  For example if you’re going to Canary Wharf or Canada Water.
  • For travel to Zone 3 search for Zone U3456.  For example if you’re going to London City Airport or Custom House for ExCel.
  • For travel to Zone 4 search for Zone U456.  For example if you’re going to Gospel Oak or Wanstead Park via Barking and not going through Zone 3, eg West Ham or Stratford.

How to buy a ticket to a London Underground station when travelling from outside London zones 1 - 6

  • First, check which zone the station you require is in. You can check the zones for TfL stations here .
  • In the buy tickets panel, type in “ Zone ” and a drop down list will appear for you to select the option which covers all the zones you need to travel through
  • Select an option with a U before the zone you require. For example " Zone U1256 " is a single/return through train and tube ticket to zones 1-6

Would you prefer a Travelcard?

Travelling solely inside the london zone area use contactless/oyster instead.

  • What kind of perks am I entitled to with a London Day Travelcard? London Day TravelCards can’t be booked independently, but will be offered as an add-on to any journey that terminates at a London station. Travelcards are valid for travel on: the Tube, Docklands Light Railway and buses trams, where your Travelcard includes Zone 3, 4, 5 or 6 National Rail, excluding Heathrow Connect between Hayes & Harlington and Heathrow, and on Heathrow Express Scheduled Riverboat services, at 1/3 off the normal fare. Just show your Travelcard (or Oyster card with a Travelcard on it) at the time of travel Please note: your Travelcard must be valid for all the zones through which you are travelling. Trains to Heathrow Airport go to terminals 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. The approximate journey times are 15 minutes to terminals 1, 2 and 3 and 25 minutes to terminal 4.
  • At what times can I use the Peak and Off-Peak Day Travelcards? The Day Travelcard (peak) can be used all day, Monday to Friday, on the day of validity and for any journey that starts before 04.30 the following day. On public holidays, it is cheaper to buy an Off–Peak Day Travelcard. Our Day Travelcard (off-peak) can be used from 09.30, Monday to Friday, all day Saturday, Sunday and public holidays, on the day of validity and for any journey that starts before 04.30 the following day. Off-Peak Day Travelcards are valid during the evening (16:00 - 19:00) peak. For further information, please visit www.tfl.gov.uk

Find things to do along the c2c train line

Whatever your destination, we can recommend some fantastic attractions and deals for you to make the most of

Note that there can be multiple Railcards selected, and a number value (Number of Passengers with Selected Railcard) must be sent for each one selected. The way it works is all selected "Railcards" are sent as a comma-delimited list in the rc field, and all the "Number of Passengers with Selected Railcard" are sent as a comma-delimited list in the rcc field which matches the order of the Railcards in the rc field. So if there are two "16-25 Railcards" and one "HM Forces Railcard" it will be sent as:

Also note that WebTIS doesn't handle Railcards very well, so this might not work well anyway. :(

Giving you unlimited travel on all National Rail services in London, London Underground, London Buses and more

Southeastern train at station

Travelcards explained

A Travelcard gives you unlimited travel (in the zones it’s valid for) on all National Rail services in London, including Southeastern  (except highspeed services unless combined with a rail ticket which states ‘plus highspeed’), as well as Transport for London (TfL) London Underground, DLR, London Overground, Elizabeth line, all London Buses and, if valid in zones 3, 4, 5 or 6, on all London Trams. 

When can I use a Travelcard? 

Travelcards can start on any day of the week and can bought for 1 day, 7 days, 1 month and any period between 1 month and 1 year. The One Day Travelcard can be printed on a paper ticket or added to our contactless smartcard, The Key (you may also want to consider using pay as you go (PAYG) on Oyster or Contactless instead, with daily capping that can work out cheaper.) Travelcards for 7 days or longer can only be added to The Key or to your TfL Oyster card. Season Travelcards and Anytime Day Travelcards can be used at any time, whilst Off-Peak Travelcards can only be used at certain times in the day. Find out more on the National Rail Oyster Card page

What if I want to travel beyond the zones permitted on my Travelcard? 

You will need to purchase a Boundary Zone ticket to or from stations outside of London. For example, if you have a 7 Day Zones 1 to 3 Travelcard and wanted to travel to Dover Priory, you can buy a London Boundary Zone 3 to Dover Priory Day Return from a ticket office or ticket vending machine. The train you are on does not need to call at a station within Zone 3 to be valid. Find out more on the National Rail Travel Information page

Can I combine a Travelcard with my rail ticket to or from London? 

Yes. If you are travelling on one of our services between Kent or East Sussex and London, you may be able to buy a rail ticket which also includes a One Day Travelcard. Check our Journey Planner to see if this option is available.

I’ve heard that One Day Travelcards were due to be scrapped – is this true?

In April 2023, the Mayor of London proposed to withdraw One Day Travelcards. In October 2023, the Department for Transport, TfL and rail operators including Southeastern struck a deal to save the Travelcard. This was subject to a one-off price increase of 3% on One Day Travelcards for travel from stations outside Zones 1 – 6 as part of a rail ticket from March 2024, which is in addition to the Department for Transport’s announced regulated fares increase of 4.9%. Unfortunately, this additional price increase means that the One Day Travelcard as part of a rail ticket may not always be the best value, depending on the number of journeys you intend to make within London. It may cheaper to buy your ticket from stations outside Zones 1 - 6 separately and then use PAYG contactless or Oyster to travel within these zones.

How can I get the best value when buying my ticket?

You can check individual journeys and compare both options by using our Journey Planner as well as the TfL Single fare finder . As an example, if you buy an Off-Peak Day Return from Dover Priory to London St. Pancras International valid on highspeed services  for £54.40 and used PAYG contactless or Oyster twice within Zones 1 – 6, you will save £1.50 compared to buying a One Day Travelcard for the same journey for £61.30.

London Weekly Travelcard

The London Weekly Travelcard offers 7 days of travel for the price of 5.

London Travelcard season tickets

Your Travelcard season ticket can start on any day of the week, and you can travel right up until 04:30 on the day after your travelcard expires.

How do I get a London Travelcard?

You can get a travelcard when you buy an Anytime , Off-Peak , Super Off Peak , Advance or season (except Flexi Season ) train ticket to London on our website, SWR app or at your local station.

You can add London Travelcards to your SWR touch smartcard , making it easier for you to tap in and out across the capital.

Travelling outside the area covered by your Travelcard

If you have a Travelcard, then you are permitted to use any services within its Zones (subject to the time restrictions of the Travelcard). If you wish to travel beyond the Zones permitted by your Travelcard, then you can purchase a Boundary Zone ticket to or from the station outside of those Zones.

For example, if you have a 7-Day Zones 1 to 3 Travelcard and wanted to travel to Shepperton, you can buy a Boundary Zone 3 to Shepperton Day Return ticket from any staffed ticket office or from our self-service ticket machines. The train you are on does not need to call at a station within Zone 3 to be valid. Boundary Zone tickets can also be sold in the opposite direction (e.g. Shepperton to Boundary Zone 3).

Let’s look at the details

Paying for travel smart expandable section.

Full payment will be taken on your start date and shown on your statement.

If you’ve opted in, you’ll get a push notification before you travel so you know when Travel Smart is due to start. You can manage your push notification settings in the app. If you don’t get push notifications, we’ll send you a text message. You can keep your mobile number up to date in the app .

Please check there’s enough money in your account to cover the payment. If we can’t take the payment due to insufficient funds, Travel Smart will get cancelled.

When it starts and ends

It starts on the date you select at 00.01am UK time. It ends at 11:59pm UK time on the last day of your week(s).

How much could I save during one week abroad? expandable section

Our debit card fees.

There are different types of debit card fees that you may have to pay without Travel Smart active on your account.

Understanding my savings

The savings you could make could depend on how you use your debit card while you are abroad. We charge different fees for transactions in Euro inside the EEA to the rest of the world.

These include:

  • foreign currency transaction fee (2.99%)
  • foreign currency purchase fee (£0.50)*
  • foreign currency cash fee (£1.50)
  • foreign cash fee (£1.50).

*Does not apply to Platinum, Premier, Channel Islands and Isle of Man accounts. This fee does not apply to debit card purchases in Euro inside the EEA.

The foreign currency cash fee and foreign cash fee do not apply when you take out Euro inside the EEA. EEA means the European Economic Area.  

An example of how much you could save by not paying these fees:

If you spend £20 once a day for a week while overseas it could cost you a total of £4.19 in Europe and £7.69 in the rest of the world.

If you also withdraw £200 once during the week while overseas, this could cost you an additional £5.98 in Europe and £7.48 in the rest of the world.

The fees for UK accounts (excl Platinum and Premier) in this example (£20 spend a day for one week and £200 withdrawal):

  • Total fees without Travel Smart = £10.17 (Europe) or £15.17 (rest of the world).
  • Total fees with Travel Smart = £7 (Europe) and £7 (rest of the world).

The fees for Platinum, Premier, Channel Islands & Isle of Man accounts in this example (£20 spend a day for one week and £200 withdrawal):

  • Total fees without Travel Smart = £10.17 (Europe) or £11.67 (rest of the world).
  • Total fees with Travel Smart  = £7 (Europe) and £7 (rest of the world).

How many weeks do I get? expandable section

Understanding my weeks.

Each year, you can add up to six weeks of Travel Smart to your account. This limit is applied from 1 January 00.01am UK time and resets on 31 December at 11.59pm. Unused weeks do not carry over.

How to use my weeks

Each time you book a trip, you can add one or more weeks to your account (up to six).

Track my weeks

We show you a summary of your trips and how many weeks you’ve booked, including any upcoming weeks.

What's included? expandable section

Once Travel Smart is added, you can use your debit card to:

  • Make payments with your debit card abroad.
  • Take out money in a foreign currency or sterling at an ATM or over the counter, outside the UK, Channel Islands or Isle of Man.
  • Make payments in a foreign currency for your trip over the internet (such as booking an activity).
  • You won’t have to pay our normal debit card fees unless the transaction is excluded. Instead, we will charge you a fixed fee, for the number of weeks you choose no matter how many transactions you make with Travel Smart.

What's not included? expandable section

Any business transactions are excluded from this service and our normal debit card fees will apply.

Travel Smart only applies to our charges. You may still have to pay separate charges for currency conversion if you ask the overseas service provider to do this. For example, if you choose to pay with your card in Pounds Sterling, you may incur a currency conversion charge by the overseas provider. Also some ATM providers may charge a fee.

Removing Travel Smart expandable section

  • You can remove Travel Smart until 11:59pm on the day before your start date. You can do this through our app and Internet Banking. If you have a joint account, either of you can do this.
  • If you’re within your 14 day cancellation period, you can still remove Travel Smart after it starts. This period starts on the day you get your terms and conditions. You’ll get a refund for any weeks you’ve paid for but can’t use (please refer to your terms and conditions).
