I can't see any mention on the TfL or First Capital Connect website that PAYG is now valid from this station - does the working reader mean that it probably is, but they've just not told anyone about it yet? Why does it have to active for PAYG, what about only for travelcards on Oyster? (Or does the presence of an Oyster reader *always* mean PAYG is allowed?) a) Travelcard users don't need to touch in, so providing a touch-point for them (other than to get through barriers) would be pointless. b) the presence of an Oyster reader doesn't mean PAYG is allowed. c) however, if someone were to touch their PAYG Oyster card in at Ally Pally, and it were to beep in a 'normal' fashion', flash green and then charge them for a PAYG journey, then there's no way in hell FCC could get away with penalising them for travelling without a valid ticket. -- John Band john at johnband dot org www.johnband.org |
