Some stations clearly do. Some don't.
Until they get their arse in gear and somehow manage to make prepay work on all zonal NR stations, it's always a lottery. An expensive lottery. My season ticket ran out last month and I'm now on pre-pay. I don't travel before 9:30 and normally I always travel enough to make up the equivalent of an off-peak travelcard. Sometimes I don't, and I've actually saved some money. Which is the good thing about pre-pay. I was going to Camden Road from Canning Town and because I wasn't sure whether Camden Road had barriers or pre-pay, I bought a paper day-time travelcard (doubly annoying as I'd just wasted £0.80 on my pre-pay to get a bus to Canning Town in the first place). Lo and behold, I could have used the barriers at Camden Road, and saved myself that money. However, had I decided to go to eg West Hampstead on the Silverlink instead, I could have faced difficulties. Another example is taking NR from Waterloo to St Helier (which requires a change at Wimbledon). In Wimbledon, beside the platform where you change, there is a yellow pre-pay swipe thingie, but then nothing at St Helier. The whole thing is confusing, and it is potentially making people offenders when they have no intention of being one. Any idea when pre-pay will be adopted throughout all zonal NR stations and, if not, any idea of a list of stations that *do* accept pre-pay? |
