Default Oyster a real time waster

Yesterday I tried using my Oyster card on National Rail for the first

problems. The first unresolved journey (ticket barrier at London
Bridge NR at fault, apparently) I managed to get sorted out at South
Kensington ticket office by merely queuing for 10 minutes, first
refund £4.

When finishing the day at King's Cross my balance was again too low,
but was keen to catch a train home so didn't have time to resolve it
then.


If you're willing to provide information as to what the journey were
that you made, then perhaps utl-ers might be able to untangle what
went on here. Going on the above information, it's impossible to say.


I predict now that the journeys will have timed out somewhere, and the OP
has had an 'uncompleted' journey followed by an 'unstarted' journey. Seems
to be the usual problem when wandering around the system at leisure...
