TfL e-mail service announcements
Living outside London and using my Oyster card very infrequently I
occasionally get e-mail announcements but only about major things like strikes. If I travelled more frequently would I get more announcements and would they be tailored to my regular travel pattern (assuming I had one).? |

I have certainly had E mails about bus services and the tube / DLR / Overground in areas where I have used the services. TfL do look at Oyster card usage to tailor their customer communication. -- Paul C You seem to be at odds with Recliner |

But I don't seem to get any emails other than on subjects I've asked for, or general London-wide announcements. |

Most emails are generic, but I have received a few about local bus routes I use that presumably were not sent to the whole of London. Peter Smyth |

They seem to know I use trams and local buses. Maybe THEY are watching me... -- Arthur Figgis Surrey, UK |

But I don't seem to get any emails other than on subjects I've asked for, or general London-wide announcements. This isn't about knowledge of TfL systems but just what I've experienced. The vast majority of E mails from TfL are generic (strikes or general info about an initiative) but some are clearly a bit more focused because some analysis has been done to identify usage against an Oyster card number and the name / E mail held on the Oyster account. I think I've read somewhere that TfL do some fairly basic checks on Oyster usage patterns by mode / line / route number to help target their E mail comms. Once they establish the new "TfL account" concept then I suspect the themes (and volume) of communication will expand somewhat for those who also cycle hire or pay the congestion charge as well as use buses or the tube. I would not be at all surprised if people have different experiences of E Mail contact by TfL so there's little point in Mr Harrison trying to suggest that I or anyone else are right or wrong. -- Paul C I wasn't trying to be deliberately provocative. |
