What is meant to happen is that the Wayfarer machines on the buses on
the routes affected should have an "LUL resolution" code entered by
the driver, given by Centrecomm. This sets the machine to resolve any
unresolved tube journeys, and not charge a bus fare.

But would it be an unresolved Underground journey? You left the
system at an earlier station than planned. But you went through the
barrier. It has no way of knowing you intended to travel further.


And the fact that you don't touch out of buses means that it can't even
calculate that you got off the bus, within a certain amount of time,
somewhere along the route that you were already on. And which routes
are covered? What if it was more convenient, having been forced off
the train, to take a different route that took you nearer to your final
destination than the (quicker) train did?

This could be resolved by a brilliant new idea I've had. A ticket that
allows you to make as many journeys as you like all day, with a peak
and off-peak version.

They could call it an "all day travelling card" or something ...
