Even better, with Auto Top-up it's done automatically by direct debit,
with an e-mailed confirmation, whenever the balance gets below £5

But don't you have to collect the "auto top-up" at a *nominated*
station?

I tried to do this, but my travel plans changed; so I didn't, after all,
visit the station I'd nominated (but did visit some others). As a
result, the auto top-up failed and I [eventually] got a refund.

So instead of being nice and easy, I now have two additional
transactions on my bank account to reconcile, and no auto top-up.
