oyster history?

Does the online oyster history ever work?

IIRC, it says someone like it only works if you have purchased pay as
you go credit from Oyster online. So, I did that on Friday and got

OT - world's crappest park

Barn Elms Park. It's about as wide as a road.

Oyster and bus goes out of service

I think that you should be allowed unlimited tram journeys within the
seventy minutes and not just two as it would solve the problem of trams
going out of service at a stroke.

Or how...

Oyster and bus goes out of service

If you transfer on the Tram you don't get double charged.

Should kids go free?

How does paying for a travelcard or bus pass discourage people from

Does unused credit on PAYG Oyster expire?

No. PAYG credit does not expire.

I would have said the same about Bus Savers until recently.

Except that the credit on the old bus savers isn't expiring as such, you

An interesting Oyster auto top-up at Wimbledon and a useless journey history.

Another quirk for me, as someone with a "priv" Oyster card, is that it
knocks off a £1 as I enter the tube and then appears to knock off another
40 or 60p when I leave. In fact it adds it...

I can. It's because the London numbers changed from 071 and 081 to 0171
and 0181 at the time they introduced area codes starting 01. Had they
