I've just applied for my new Student Photocard. On the application form
it says 'During 2004-2005 some students will be issued with an Oyster
photocard'. I read that as a combined Oyster and photocard in one.
Anyone know anything more - Paul? Is that what a Freedom Pass is like?

Also, when I get my new card, assuming it is a normal photocard, do I
have to change my Oyster too, i.e. are photocards and Oysters
'hard-wired' together?

Newham are issuing library cards and Oysters all in one; the photo of
the bearer is on the card itself.
I've thought for a while that it might be a good idea for police warrant
cards to be made in a similar way....
