Not really an answer to your question, but TfL don't like unregistered

Which is a bit silly, because if they really didn't like the use of
unregistered Oyster cards, they could just make it compulsory to
register when obtaining the card!

That would be a barrier to people agreeing to use Oyster. There are
plenty of people around who think that the State [sic] have too much
information about what people get up to.

In this case, there are benefits for those that register; but those that
chose not to register can enjoy most of the functions of Oyster. Not
registering for Oyster is also quicker for those in a rush when they
first arrive in London (they can register at their convenience later).



£3 fares are already a foreigner tax.

Can you imagine standing behind a queue of tourists trying to
understand the forms just so they they don't get ripped off during
their week's holiday?

It was in the paper today that they're going to start making Oysters
available to tourists in their home countries before they visit.
