Default oyster conundrum

If I put my Oyster against the reader on a touch screen machine it
gives me the option of renewing the ticket. I haven't actually done
it but I'm sure someone on here said they had.

I've renewed using a touch screen machine, despite the insistence from

the
guy in the ticket office that the only way was over the 'net!


ah cheers guys. thats much more of a good idea for me....although it still
means i get to walk to the station instead of using the bus. sigh.


Remember that you can store up to three 'tickets' on one Oystercard, so you
can renew before your current ticket expires.


I was told this morning by Oystercard that advance renewals are only
online and not via the machines. I hope he was wrong. He didn't sound
that confident about anything he told me. (Especially when I asked "this
IS going to get better soon, isn't it?")

This is true. The machines can only renew Oystercards to commence on that day ...
