Well as simple things like 1-day travel cards and reimbursing pre-pay
fares when a travelcard is purchased are still beyond them - how can you
expect prepay?

8 days into 2005 it's apparently nearly 2006, glad I brought those Xmas
cards cheap in the sales!

Prepay does work (99.9% of the time anyway), it's just the capping that
needs further testing

You're trying to make out that the issue is of little relevance. When the
whole thing Oystercard thing announced, one of the ideas behind pre-pay was
the convenience of capping. Over a year later the product still hasn't been
delivered with no indication of when it will be with us.

Or better still if you clock up in one day more on your pre-pay than the
cost the Travelcard you could have bought, TfL have to refund you back the
difference!
