The train to Mottingham (zone 4) depart from Charing Cross Station (downtown zone 1) through Waterloo(zone 1), London Bridge (zone 1), New Cross (zone 2) and Lewisham (zone 2) Stations on its way to Dartford and Gillingham. Mottingham Station (as well as the previous station of Lee in zone 3) does not have a check-in/check-out gate, which means that it is better not to use a Oyster Card when going to that station as you won't have the chance to 'touch out' and be charged consequently. Therefore, it is also possible to simply buy a ticket to the previous station in zone 3 (Hither Green or Lee) and bring the coast of the ticket beneath the 3 pounds. The distance between each stations is no longer than 5 minutes.
The best ride to accept from Mottingham is one that brings you directly into the South-East along the M20 and past the M20-M25 jonction, most likely to the [[Maidstone Services]]. Many drivers said that many hitch-hikers happens to stand and hitch at the jonction, but the police might be more likely to pick you up. There is also a BP Gas Station Services (Swanley Services) before the M25 jonction but the cars still goes in every direction from there and catching a ride might reveal more difficult.
