Would delay repay be applicable to the entire cost or just the 1st portion of the journey due to split tickets?

Aren't stations already left with the barriers open, ticket office closed (e.g London bridge on Sunday nights) due to staff shortages. Surely this will happen more frequently when staff numbers are cut further

I wouldn't rely on it though as you're rather likely to get a puzzled look if you ask to top up your oyster and add a railcard discount at a newsagent!

I believe the pictures sourced from the Every Job matter site were taken before the VIC. The obvious question is what happens when those 2 ticket offices are gone?! The VIC certainly couldn't cope with the combined demand of 3 ticket offices. Especially as it's opening hours aren't as long...

They did in 2007 on the plans to close 40. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- You could visit West Hampstead(LU) ,Finchley Road, Lambeth North or Elephant & Castle's ticket office. Check opening hours before you go of course! You can't add a railcard discount to an oyster online.

A picture of the Western ticket office in Easter. Summer is approaching with an influx of tourists expected between June and August - a considerable amount with £50 notes which aren't accepted by ticket machines. Not to mention how many incorrectly purchased bus & tram tickets that will need to...

Ironically LU staff at say London Bridge might be forced to send customers to National Rail ticket offices to purchase certain tickets! There is a chance that LU will backtrack when King's Cross loses the last 2 of it's 3 ticket offices when the ensuing chaos results.

I get this message when I try to add it to my oyster online account --- old post above --- --- new post below --- How can you do this?

Is the LU Framework agreement legally binding? Also is it a potential disciplinary if breached and something goes wrong? For example if someone works with say a 10 hour gap between shifts?

The ability to interrogate paper tickets will be virtually lost- useful if someone gets a 51 error and denies using it! I've heard that each station will still retain a TOM -although it's usage will be strongly discouraged!

Out of curiosity is it possible to get a full 8 week journey history for staff oysters as you can for normal oyster cards?

Or are enough people passing the first stages?

Unfortunately not.

Virtually all will be closed by December. The old Silver link ones will survive for the time being as legal obligations stop them from closing them already (e.g Kensal Green) --- old post above --- --- new post below --- At the moment those who need to pay with multiple tenders- e.g cash and...

I meant a year lol! --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Would you be able to PM me on how to join this waiting list?
