'Loading' an Oyster?
In message , Steve Naïve
writes I bought a travelcard to be loaded onto an Oyster for a future date (it was going to start on a Monday). On Friday, travelling on my old paper travelcard, I tried waving the Oyster over the card reader - since it wasn't valid, it didn't work (to be expected). However, neither did it load the correct ticket to start on the Monday. I boarded a bus on Monday morning only to be told that the card wasn't accepted (tried a number of times). When I got to my 'designated station' it worked fine and has done ever since. Does the Oyster have to be valid for the new ticket to be loaded onto it? I don't think the bus Oyster-reader was defective. I'm not sure if I understand you correctly; did you first try to load your Oyster at your designated station or at another? -- Kat Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea - Robert A.
