An article in thelondonpaper this evening states that the £3 deposit
for obtaining a new Oyster card (currently only payable if using PAYG
or buying a weekly season ticket) will, from May, also be charged when
buying a longer-than-weekly season ticket.

When did the £3 deposit start being implemented for weekly tickets? It
didn't used to be.

The TfL website still says "When you first get your Oyster card, you
will need to pay a refundable £3 deposit if you are only adding cash to
pay as you go", so it appears that a new Oyster with a weekly season
does *not* currently have a £3 deposit.

However, the website also says "A £3 refundable deposit will be applied
to all new Oyster cards issued from 17 May".
