The Oyster helpline 0845 330 9876 is open 8 - 8, each day.
I find there is rarely a queue at 0800 on Saturday or Sunday.
Otherwise, you often wait 10 minutes.

Aren't public bodies meant to have moved to 03 numbers instead of
premium rate 08 numbers? Any idea when TfL will do that?

I would love to see chapter and verse on that "meant".

I am quite irritated that 222 1234 recently moved from 0207 to 0843,
where ISTR it is quietly charged at 0.10UKP/minute.
From my landline, 0845 numbers and 020 are toll free with BT.
I pay a small monthly rental for that service.

Me too. A nasty habit.
