Default Oyster Prepay and YP railcard

DERWENT Oyster Prepay and YP railcard

That is, having to get off the train to touch in or out at the point
where they start or finish the route covered by their paper ticket. If
that means waiting half an hour or else either paying a punitive fare
or paying twice ... Tough.


Why not have oyster readers in the 357s? Then you can touch in on the
train, just the same as you can on a Bendy Bus. 357s have GPS so they
will know where they are when you touch in. There will prbably be some
issues with people delaying touching in, but with with PFs for un-
touched in Oysters amd PFs for having nto touched in before the
boundary these can be compensated for.
