No, it wouldn't but you could keep some Pre Pay on your season ticket
Oyster for extensions and the other Oyster for other needs.

But then all you have done is make *three* different types of credit
rather than two. (1) Pre-Pay for excess fares, (2) Pre-pay for
pay-as-you-go and (3) Seasons.

Yes, but on two cards with different uses.

This would seem to me to be yet another complication rather than
simplification in the fare structure...

I think whoever said earlier in the thread that it will all work more
smoothly if the entire ticketing structure is reformed was spot on...

That may be... especially in 2004 when there are different prices for
weekends and bank holidays and a host of other *make life harder for the
SAMFs* goodies..
However, I was replying to Paul's suggestion that two types of Oyster
card might be a good idea.
If you did keep another Oyster solely with Pre Pay on it then you could
give it to someone else if necessary.

Just out of interest, I'd like to know if anyone reading this group has
or is planning to get a purely Pre Pay oyster. From what I've gathered
(and I realise it's early days) there hasn't been that much demand for
them so far.
Is lure of 2003 single fare prices greater than the disadvantage of
paying a £3.00 deposit and locking an amount of cash away on an Oyster
card?
