Are you charged the maximum for the route you're on, or the minimum or

When the system was introduced you were only being charged a minimum fare
and that was still the case as late as August. However it seems it has
always been the plan to switch to charging the maximum possible fare. I
don't know if that has now been brought in.

What do you think? This is PT we're talking about here.
If I knew I wouldn't be asking. It's just that someone had the tag
line "Always touch in and touch out" but the other day I went through
the gates at Clapham Junction and the gates were open and people were
just being herded through by the staff without the chance to stop and
touch out, hence my question. Or perhaps you just don't know the
answer.

As far as I am aware, Pre-Pay isn't valid on any national rail services
using Clapham Junction so there wouldn't be an issue there.

Oh, I don't. I wouldn't carry an Oyster since I have no wish to report
my movements to Ken Livingstone.

Unregistered prepay, pass it arround. Of course when they break (frequently)
they steal the value left on the card off you.


But since the point of PT is to rip people off, it's obvious which way
round it is.

You are correct, it's (almost) the highest charge - a Z1-6 single. Cheaper
then a Z1-D single, so dont touch out at Amersham!

Your sig is too long.

Sometime it is necessary to leave everything to demonstrate the idiocy

Yesterday I was unable to "touch out" my prepay Oyster due to all the gates
being out of order at a station that I was exiting from.

When I phoned the Oystercard helpline, I was told that I was only charged
the minimum fare for that journey. When I asked if and when the max fare
might be introduced for this sort of thing, they said "soon".
