Online top up really is a pain, especially for small amounts.


But it's pretty well the only option if you live in the USA.


Can't you just obtain a card and top it up at Heathrow station?


Once you've got the hang of Oyster, probably. But explaining it to my

Then there are the (rare) trips not entering the UK through Heathrow.
