Those "Pre Pay users" Oyster validators

As it CLEARLY says on the signs - the validators are for prepay users. On the grounds that all Oyster cards have pre-pay functionality and if you travel beyond your zonal availability the pre-pay element can be deducted - even if there is NO cash on the card. You must then top up with cash in order to make another DLR or Tube trip. The system would appear to work differently for bus and tramlink where you only register on entry with no requirement to register an exit on either mode. There is a new "Guide to using Oyster" on the leaflet racks at Tube stations today. I was a bit bemused by Barry's post about DLR but having read the advice being provided on LUL Pre-Pay, then DLR and what you do at Bank and also the advice on what to do at Wimbledon with Tramlink I have to say I am confused. The advice provided *seems* to be inconsistent but I am still trying to work through the system logic in my head so don't quote me on it. It would appear that whenever there is a "within a gateline" interchange between operators that you must register the interchange on the card regardless of ticket type in order for any potential excess fare or Pre-Pay charge to be correctly calculated on eventual exit. The bit that is confusing within the document is that there appears to be no requirement to validate on exiting DLR at Bank, only on entry and I can't work that out at all. I am assuming that on eventual exit the reader must interrogate at least the last 2 journeys recorded on the card to calculate any liability for a pre-pay deduction. Oh well back to the drawing board for my theories. -- Paul C Admits to working for London Underground! |
