om...

FWIW on both occasions the ticket seller has not actually checked that
my oyster covers the zones I have told them it does. I guess in theory
i could tell them it is z1-5.

You could, but what if a revenue control inspector armed with a hand held
checker grabs you between zone 3 and 5? Oer missus, sounds painful!

This got me reading the TfL Conditions of Carrirage and I noticed -

http://www.tfl.gov.uk/buses/nftt_bus_saver.shtml#2
"It is a book of 6 single bus tickets, which can be bought in advance,
for travel on buses, including N-prefixed Night buses, across the
entire London bus network."

But at http://tube.tfl.gov.uk/content/about/COC.pdf at page 10 -
"Ticket Bus single Saver 6
You cannot use it on N-prefixed Night Buses or special bus services."

Which is right?



Cheers,

That document is dated 2000. Things have changed since then.

The first source you quoted. Savers have been valid on night buses ever
since night-bus fares were made the same as their day-time equivalents.
All the night-bus maps make this clear:

Night bus fares are now the same as day fares
* Adult Savers are valid on Night buses and work
out at 65p per journey

Finsbury Park has had validators for months.

How many validators are there? Will there be enough for the volumne of
passenger traffic that F.P. sees?

There are two at the Wells Terrace exit, one for each side of the
barrier going down the middle of the access tunnel. Presumably they
will be enough for the volume of traffic because I'd guess that only a
small proportion of people will be using PAYG and will therefore need
to validate their tickets.

they iron out the "issues" that are already in evidence before PAYG
is introduced though.

What issues are those?

For example, as someone just pointed out, that apparently you will be
charged 'full price' (possibly a full zone 1-6 travelcard) if your journey
appears to be incomplete. That is if the scanners aren't working, or if
the gates are open at the destination

Bzzt!

If the gates are open at the destination, all you have to do is
present your Oyster Card to the RTD (target) on the gate as normal.

Tube staff are under instructions _not_ to power gates down.

Gates off isn't what I intend to encounter, just gates which are
at red in both directions :-(

The display on top might be red, but you'll find that the RTD will be
showing yellow.

Nope, they were showing red as well.
