When I've occasionally come across the 'smartcards / Oyster saves
paper' line spouted as a benefit, I think of the times I've come across
great stacks of discarded card receipts on standard ticket stock at
TVMs in the London area (in the ticket collection bin, sometimes piled
up on top of the machine, or in an untidy mess on the floor), a quick
examination of which shows many are receipts for PAYG topups.

Bought a ticket from the EMT machine at St Pancras the other week, and
I was pleased to note that it spat out only one piece of card - the
ticket - and no receipts. I think that's the way to go provided a
receipt remains offered on request (by a fairly obvious button) for
those who do reconcile their card spending in that manner. (I see
little point in doing that these days as a miskeyed amount is
infinitessimally unlikely now nothing is hand-written)
