NR photocard and Oyster
Thought I'd get a prepaid, but for some reason they seem to insist on
a photocard (on the tfl site, at least). Does an NR one work, or do I need to get one from tfl? |

I got an Oyster PrePay during the week, and they sent a photocard thing with it for me to put my photo in, but on the FAQ's on the website, it said that you don't need a photocard for Oyster PrePay. (One of the reasons I got it), but like Barry just said I think it's just in case you decide to get a season ticket later on. Just out of curiosity, would it be advisable to put a photo in the card that they sent with my Oyster PrePay, just in case some over zealous inspector got onto me? |

NR photocard and Oyster
As an over zealous inspector I can assure you if its Pre-pay only you have
no worries. If at a later date you get a travelcard that does require a photocard then you must ensure you have a photo in the card. That doesn't mean 2, 20, 50 or 100 days after you get it. The only thing that immediately tells an inspector the ticket is yours is the matching photocard with your smiley face in it. otherwise its grief and tears as the ticket is withdrawn whilst its ownership is confirmed. Remember, some people believe they have dispensation to travel free whilst you pay a hefty sum from your salary! Steve "Laura-Ann" wrote in message news:w%rkc.1583$N13.1095@newsfe1-win...
