It *should* be free, just like they occasionally say your ticket is
valid on lonodn busses.

In actual fact (in the later case at least), you get charged, and they
can't deduct that charge at the tube station (despite the fact the guy
I asked was very helpful, and spent 10 minutes trying to do it)

Much quicker to email Oyster customer services once back at home and get
them to push the refund to a Tube station's gates for collection (or get
them to send out a voucher which can then be put on your card at the
ticket office).
