Hmm, is that a valid excuse. On the bus, inspector comes on, claim you
had
a pre-pay oyster but it's been lifted.

Same with the tube.

It didn't apply in this case, as I was getting off the bus at the time.

I don't know whether it would be a valid excuse were an inspector to
demand it
while I was on the bus or the Tube (BTW, I can't remember the last time I
encountered an inspector on the Tube). I'm sure it's not the first time
and it
won't be the last time that such a thing has happened.

It's a non-issue surely, as the use of the Oyster to board the bus will
have been logged centrally. (Or captured locally, to be logged
centrally, later).

If you have an anonymous oyster card? Or if its a season ticket?
