Your reading is right. The file is wrong.
You can buy oyster cards with coinage.
You can top up with notes and credit cards
The machines which sell oyster cards do not accept notes.
I do not recall if they accept credit cards.


Sorry Walter ; any way you look at it that's a crappy poem.
LOROL!

"There was a young man from Towcester,
Who needed a shiny new Oyster,
He went on the tube, now insists:
What Roland can't believe in exists,
And now he has more cards than he used-tah."
