Either way, a 20 minute call at 4p per minute (the last time I tried
to get my money back) is 80p, not worth it if you're trying to get a
weekend non-zone-1 ticket back.


I pay for about 1 call in 200 Paul there are many ways now in the UK
to avoid paying for calls , I make most my calls via voip providers
two of which gives me free calls to 01 and 02 numbers 24/7 plus I have
500 anytime minutes on my mobile .


Indeed, however the principle of the matter is TFL make money from
perimum rate (i.e. not 01/02) calls when they have cocked up.

If you want to get rid of calling
0870 ,0845 and the rest of that shower go towww.saynoto0870.comand
input the company name you want to call it is very rare that I do not
find a geographical number using that method .


Even if you do eventually get through, they won''t refund your oyster
unless you register (even with a bogus address), which is an
additional hastle.

Default Oyster Card

Unless instructed otherwise they'll probably send you a refund
as a voucher thingy you have to cash at a ticket office which is a pain,



The advantage being that the voucher will be for the cash fare (or at
least it was the last time I claimed), so if you paid Oyster fare,
you've made a pretty good profit!
