But the fare increases won't affect journeys from those stations.

While it's a fair point that the train companies ought to start
accepting pre-pay, Mr Pope has ended up looking a bit clueless IMO.


In addition, I believe you cannot use a railcard (eg YP) on Oyster travel cards.


Also the passengers charter says that rail users are entitled to a discount if punctuality falls
below a certain level. This discount does not apply to oyster period travel cards. You know
where you can stick yer oyser Ken!


Not true. Where season tickets are available on Oyster from National Rail
stations (e.g. c2c/SWT etc.) they are sold on the same basis and with the
same benefits.

You would also be eligable to claim under the London Underground scheme
as well as receive the TOC related renewal discount (where applicable).
