How to Board & Exit the Overground

Entering an Overground station is similar to the Underground. Tap your Oyster Card or other payment method and go through the gates. To board, there are buttons on the outside of the train to open the doors if they don’t open for you automatically. You do not need to request a stop on the Overground, but there are similar buttons on the inside of the train to open the doors when it’s your turn to exit.

Transfer Rules

If you are transferring from the Overground to the Tube or vice versa, make sure you tap on and tap off when transferring for your trip to be considered a single journey. Note that transfers to National Rail (not to be confused with Overground) will be considered a new trip.
