The original idea was to pre load it to about 120UKP so that on a
fortnights holiday in the Capital finding change or queuing at any
time would not be necessary.

2 x 7-day (Zone1-D) Travelcards will only cost you £118!!

On holiday, travel before 9.30 might not be required on many days.
Some days might be buses-only. So Prepay seems sensible.

But the solution is simple. Order Auto-top-up a few days before
leaving for London. Your first Underground journey will activate it.
