(thank god it broke at a station which has London Underground
staff) where they swapped it for a new one. My journey history has been
lost though, so I can't tell if TfL made any other errors between the
last time I checked and this happening.

Does the journey history differ between what's stored on the card and on
their computer. I'd have expected them to be the same (ie both of them
right or both of them wrong in the same way).


" Journeys made before you added this Oyster card [ie the replacement]
to your account are not available. "

according to the website.


They are, but TfL doesn't want to go to the bother of making them
available to you. If it was the Met they'd have it in their in-box
before you can say 'Capita'.
