Oyster product pickup improvements
 
From this April it should be possible to pick up online Oyster purchases within 30 minutes, and without having to nominate a particular station. It will also be possible to pick up purchases on buses.

TfL are also planning to introduce an Oyster app to complement this improvement.

Details are at:

Hooray! The current rules are an utter pain for infrequent out-of-London
users like me. I got caught out by the evening deadline too once, topping up
for a planned journey the next day. Living in Cambridge I can't even be sure
where I'll start an Oyster journey.

If you used Auto Top-up, you wouldn't have that problem.

Perhaps. I received a small post journey credit on a couple of Oyster cards that
apparently exceeded the daily cap one day. I nominated Edgware station thinking
I'd be back there soon, but haven't made it yet and haven't been concerned
enough to change the nomination.

I don't use Oyster enough to justify lending TfL so much money.

For anyone with a contactless card it's kind of losing its role anyway.
I cashed all my Oysters in and now just use contactless.
