You can also touch your Oyster on a touchscreen ticket machine and get a
complete journey history.


Just out of interesti wonder if "Staff" oysters tell them the same?

Yes, they do but since we use them mostly to let people with damaged
magnetic tickets in and out, the info isn't very interesting.

Kat Me, Ambivalent? Well, yes and no.

Hmmmmmm, and on a bus? Stick your head under the gap maybe?

No, it appeared on the public-facing screen on my local bus (when it was
working).

The website tells you your balance but not individual transactions.

For a detailed listing you walk up to the large ticket machines or the
q-cutter ones, touch your card on the pad, and a button appears on
screen "view card usage" and it lists them in reverse order.

Finally the ticket off staff can print the most detailed list off of
all on a sort of paper receipt but I'm not sure if they're supposed to
waste time printing those out for ordinary punters, probably will if
you ask nicely though.


If you ask a bus driver nicely they can print out your last 10 bus
journeys from thier ticket machine. You have to ask when you touch the
reader the first time though or you get a passback warning.

Only on some gates, it seems.

Doesn't this negate the faster bus-boarding rate that is one of things
Oyster is supposed to provide for the public in general?

Well presumably the driver will suggest you move along inside if the bus is
busy.

That's only on the "new" slim gates isn't it, there's the oneline
displays next to the pad on the exit side of the old style gates but
I've never seen those say anything other than "##############" or
similar.

The new style gates at Canning Town don't seem to show the balance.
Odd.

Enjoy the Routemaster while you still can.

I posted the same query to the Oyster helpdesk on Tuesday 13 January. I
have only just (18.40 Mon 19 Jan) received a reply (with an apology for
the delay). Hmmm...
