Took a relative to the LT museum in covent garden on the w/e. They looked
a bit bemused when I asked why couldn't I pay using my Oyster card. Given
TfL seem to want to promote Oyster as electronic cash wouldn't this be
a logical place to start? They could even have proper station gates at the
entrance to let oyster holders through so they don't have to queue and make
the gates part of the exhibits at the same time. An opportunity missed I
think.

Except that your museum ticket entitles you to free re-entry to the
museum for a year. Oyster doesn't have that capability.

Whats a seaon ticket then? Anyway , they could always do a PAYG style of
entry that costs less than a full year ticket.

On a side note - for the price of 13.50 the museum itself is less than
impressive especially compared to the free Science Museum. A few more railway
exhibits and a few less buses would be a good start.
