[Oyster validator at Ally Pally]

Why it's been switched on already is a harder ask (my top 3 options
are mistake, testing, and FCC having come to an agreement earlier than
the south-of-river TOCs which they'll announce shortly).

I would guess it's more a case of Cubic not wanting to have to send
Engineers out to do a mass switch on when PAYG is finally accepted, as
the validators at Palmers Green, Edmonton Green and Silver Street are
all turned on as well (though generally still covered).

As for why it's uncovered, I'd be inclined to suggest that that's down
to the local scrotes arsing about.

Cheers,

Barry

2 readers at BHK on the up road platform access (side) gate.

Both un-covered - but where before, and when the cover was taken off someone
would replace it.

Had a look the other day when passing through; 1 machine - 'touch for
entry/exit' the other said 'closed'

If someone at Edmonton / Silver St / Enfield Town can tell me if any of
those are 'open' I will test them at some point over the weekend with a PAYG
card I have kicking about. (And before people say anything I have an
existing paper gold card that covers me anyway)
