...but most useless of all, you have to nominate the station, and in some

What happens if that station is closed "due to staff shortage", or

Bloody hell. In Hong Kong, you just stick your card in a special machine,
insert money, and your card gets credited and off you go. I was under the
impression the Oyster would be like that.

Renew 4 days in advance???? WTF???
