Oyster a real time waster

It would appear from the OP that there was a faulty gate and therefore that does need to be put right although I understand the frustration with a long wait at a ticket office. Well yes, I fully agree that you (and Mr Terry and Mr Perry) are correct, and that I was exposing one of my worse traits, being that if something takes effort, impacts nobody else directly (and the rewards are insufficient), then I probably won't do it. hangs head In reality, I've never actually NOTICED that the technology has been the source of the problem, most of the time it's been my mistake, usually when I get off an overground train at Stratford, completely forget to touch in before getting on the Central Line as you don't go through a barrier and then get charged full-whack for a one stop journey to Leyton. In those situations, I'm quite prepared to take the hit for my own stupidity, as I feel it's the only way I'll learn. After being overcharged for DLR journeys because I kept forgetting to touch in at Canary Wharf (again, because there's no gateline), I have at least learned my lesson, and these days never fail to touch in, whether I have a monthly on my Oystercard or not. |
