Hayes & Harlington - Victoria/London Oyster Cards
In message
, at 05:42:55 on Wed, 19 Sep 2012, 77002 remarked: And one thing to watch out for, Network Rail often leave the barriers open, inviting you to just walk though whilst forgetting to "swipe" your Oyster - and then the ticket inspector does you for a penalty fair on the train! That one has not caught me yet. But, it would be very easy to walk thru an open barrier. Touching in and out at TfL barriers is so easy. Apart from various glitches in the daily-capping system, there are other bear-traps for the unwary. Don't, for example, arrive at a barriered London terminus and use your Oyster to open the gate to the concourse (rather than using your paper national rail ticket) because that will register as an "incomplete journey" with a huge fine. The system assumes you failed to 'touch-in' somewhere in the outer suburbs. -- Roland Perry |
