Oyster cards on buses

I didn't expect the walk to Southwark, but did find two nice pubs and a street of restaurants (at Southwark) along the way so it wasn't a waste of time... I guess you walked down the The Cut. There is some lovely dining to be had down there at say the Anchor and Hope or one of the restaurants. There's a couple of really nice pubs just north of there on some great old-London-Town side streets - the Kings Arms on Roupell Street and the White Hart on Cornwall Road. That's it... the White Hart. Mmmmmmmm... Those streets are fascinating. I suppose there were more streets like that before WW2 and the South Bank Centre construction. And there was a brewery on the river, I think? I ordered mine around the time that the rules changed and you could top-up on buses. The help pages and the normal text were inconsistent so I emailed - again - and was told that I'd still have to visit a station. I *think* this was incorrect advice. Perhaps if you ask now, they've got their story straight. Have you got an approxomate date for that at all? I may, if I'm stupid enough, attempt to write some kind of Oyster FAQ and if so it'd be useful to have a timeline of Oyster developments to hand. I asked the question about Waterloo on 5/7/06, got the reply that day and picked up the Auto Top-Up from Southwark on 9/7/06. The email that I got to confirm the upload also failed to mention that auto top-up works on buses and at tram stops, but by then I think it did, for a few days. So let's say July 2006. I tried to find you a press release at tfl.gov.uk, but no luck. Good luck with the FAQ! Richard. |
