Barriers or no. ISTM you've missed the very point of the previous post. He explained exactly why OEPs are needed. At unbarriered stations there is nothing whatsoever to stop a passenger who entered elsewhere with a season travelcard ignoring a validator. *The TOCs aren't prepared to take that obvious revenue risk - but TfL do already, and are prepared to accept it. Paul S There's no difference surely between that situation and someone with a paper travelcard exiting outside their zones, surely? Actually, there is a difference - with a paper ticket the passenger will (likely) know they're outside their zones and should be paying something extra, somehow. A passenger with both a travelcard and PAYG credit on their Oyster card is likely to think they'll have some credit deducted when they leave and not have any idea what an OEP is. (I know this has been done before, but it's still crazy) |
