CONFUSED rail passengers are being hit with £20 on-the-spot fines
after mistakenly thinking they can use their Oyster card on train

Rail company One has pledged to extend the electronic ticketing system
- which operates between Stratford and Liverpool Street - to Redbridge
stations by May 2009.

Well the paper's not helping to clear up the confusion is it?! "Oyster
cards" CAN be used at Ilford BUT only the ones with season tickets on them -
I've never had a problem here. What causes the confusion is the widespread
use of "Oyster" when "Pay As You Go" is what is meant.
