Richmond ticket office IS being equipped to issue Oystercards, and will
doing so in the near future, as will Wimbledon. The delay in starting at
all joint LUL/TOC stations a result of APTIS being upgraded, where LUL
system was built for the purpose, which has proved difficult adding new
technology to a 20 year old system.


Shouldn't that IS equipped, after all the date was end october, don't tell
me its been screwed up again! How long did everyone know about the
introduction of oystercards?

Can't blame the TOCs for that directly, there has been loads of software
problems between LUL Oyster system and the 20 year old APTIS machines.
