Roll on 2005 and capping. (I realise that doesn't help with the
broken reader but it might help with the paying to get somewhere
you can buy a ticket for the journey you just made).


Will it even be able to work out "he used a bus and then bought a one
month travelcard afterwards" and subtract the bus journey?


They can probably do that at the ticket desk if you ask nicely and they
are not busy. Of course it should not need to even wait for capping to
deduct all bus journeys made if buying a travelcard the covers that day,
that can hardly be complicated or controversial?

I tried that today, and as expected the answer was "no, can't do that".
It annoys me that I should have to pay £1 for the privilege of being
able to buy a ticket that would cover the journey I just made.
