Why should they be expecting that? We haven't got an integrated
system, and, if they'd done any research before they came, they would
know that.

expected to pass through an Oyster-operated gate to get to some of the
National Rail services on that line, and having to pass through an
Oyster-operated gate to exit Ealing Bdy station, they could be excused
for being *extremely* confused.

Surely most tourists won't have an Oyster card anyway?


Why didn't someone make it a condition of national rails TOCs operating
within the Oyster area that they accept Oyster single tickets?

Why should they?
