Kentish Town and Oyster Pre-Pay

wrote: So, Kentish Town station is closed again due to faulty escalators. BBC London Travel News stated "Tickets are being accepted on local buses". How is this handled for anyone who has Oyster pre-pay, and doesn't have a "ticket"? Will they be charged for an "extra" journey by bus? What is meant to happen is that the Wayfarer machines on the buses on the routes affected should have an "LUL resolution" code entered by the driver, given by Centrecomm. This sets the machine to resolve any unresolved tube journeys, and not charge a bus fare. Interesting. Presumably the exit gates at the relevant stations would have to be left open, with signs telling passengers *not* to touch out if they're taking the bus. But how does the passenger know that the resolution code has been entered, and they won't be hit with both an unresolved journey and an extra bus fare? What happens if their journey starts with the bus journey (in this case, if they're starting their journey from Kentish Town)? |
