I suspect it is possible to top-up pre-pay at newsagents,
It is - a colleague of my did it at the newsagent here.
and I just
want to know how to phrase the question so that the newsagent will
understand.
Can I put £x prepay on my Oystercard please? :-)
If only it were that simple :-) The guy just didn't know what I
wanted and kept trying to put a bus pass on it.
What I was hoping for was a list of talk-through instructions to tell
the guy how to do it, something like:
1. Press the "Top-up Oystercard" button on your screen
2. Then choose the "Cash top-up"
3. Choose the amount
etc...
Step-by-step instructions that would work with any newsagent, even one
who didn't know what you were asking for!
As Oyster bus pre-pay hasn't officially launched I guess there aren't
many people on the right side of the river topping up cash yet.
So, any newsagent travelcard system experts in here..?
