Default New PTACs

The Mayor of London is issuing new PTACs for LU Staff and NR Staff with an
Oyster Card. I got mine yesterday and it doesn't require to be stamped every
year. It is made out of plastic (similar to oyster) and not like that flimsy
card before. Nice to see a bit of colour apart from red!

Your and you're are different words!

I suppose yours is a first class one?
Anyway don't go round telling everybody for gawds sake others wise that's
another nail in the already over inflated coffin of ideas punters have
about staff facilities.

I joined after April 96 and don't have one

It only gives a discount on full price tickets....

Why would 'NR staff with an Oystercard' need one of those from TfL?
They get Box Passes from RSTL which enable them to get Priv.
