Default Oyster travelcard oddity

I wasn't paying attention, so I don't know how new they are, but SET
now has posters inside trains saying "Use your Oyster card on our
Greater London metro services".

It urges people to touch in and touch out to calculate the correct
fare, or risk being liable to a penalty fare (not fully explained, but
in general it covers all bases and won't cause any harm).

It doesn't make any mention whatsovever of

PAYG
travelcards
OEPs

Interesting.


And of particular interest to TfL who will, I'm sure push for OEPs to be
abandoned in June on the basis that the TOCs who wanted them are neither
advertising nor selling them, and 97% of their customers are not using
them
