The trams don't have readers on board.

and I could not find a street side reader at west crayon


They are there. One at each end of the stop (next to the ticket machine,
and right at the far end):

Given how important "tapping in" is, as I have remarked before, the small
grey badly positioned readers are hard to find, deliberately perhaps!


They could perhaps be brighter, but in the case of West Croydon I'm not
sure when one could put them other than at the ends of the platform
where people will have to pass them as they arrive at the stop.
