Can I use an Electronic Use Only pre-paid contactless debit card using the Oyster readers at rail stations? Those readers I suspect are online than the bus Oyster readers.

TfL have finally upgraded the Oyster online site which still used the old template. Much more user friendly, however as a discounted Bus & Tram pass holder, it tells me I have an expiring travelcard and the ticket type comes up as 'Null'

I'll be in Wembley next weekend and wondered if I can renew my discounted bus & tram pass on Oyster at Wembley Central station? I know it's managed by LUL, but I understand these stations now have FasTIS at the ticket office, which if like LOROL stations don't sell bus passes, along with NR...

Last Saturday I travelled from Uxbridge to Denmark Hill using the Piccadilly (Met had engineering works south of Harrow-on-the Hill), Bakerloo, Jubilee via Canada Water on London Overground. I was charged £5.20 rather than £3.10 as I didn't realise that I had to touch the pink validator for...

As I claim work travel expenses currently using Oyster. I currently use a London Underground ticket office to get a Oyster Usage Statement which I then use as a receipt to claim back. However when the ticket office closes, Oyster becomes a bit more of a disadvantage for this use as when I...

I've only seen this at Surrey Quays so far. I didn't have time to have a play to see how it works, but I suspect there's an extra button on the start window to purchase them.

I've noticed that these TVM's now activate the Oyster window by touching the card on the reader without pressing the Oyster button first on the touch screen.

The station was part closed for a time on Wednesday as it appears nearby contractors cut into the electric cable which took out the lighting, TVM's and CIS. Emergency lighting was installed which allowed the Southern/LOROL platforms and corridors to re-open, although I'm not sure when the...

£5.10 was added to my balance this morning. I obtained an Oyster Usage Statement where it says: 09:53 Adjust PAYG No Token -£5.10. I've checked Oyster Online and there's no mention of a refund, nor an email sent from TfL. I don't recall any delays in service that I applied for with all...

I'm travelling to Redhill on October 3rd using Southern's online off 10% offer on a Smart CDR which is clearly an incentive to get more users with The Key. I've also ordered a Key from Southern which should arrive in five working days. I'm assuming that as Forest Hill still hasn't got Key...

Spoke to my friend today who came down from St. Albans City station with a St Albans to Z1-6 travelcard. She claimed that she can use it to go to St. Albans and back, then use it to return to London again. I thought the ticket was unlimited within the Travelcard zones and allows for one...

LOROL have finally replaced Phil Sayer and the unidentified female VO at stations between New Cross Gate and West Croydon/Crystal Palace with Emma Hignett. However, the volume at Forest Hill is so low and isn't being played out in the ticket hall.

Where is the crossover at Norwood Junction as Uckfield 171s were terminating on Platform 3 (Fast London) and starting from 4 (Fast Croydon).

I attempted to purchase a CDR to East Grinstead from the infamous Forest Hill station for tomorrow. The clerk tried three times on FasTIS and could only bring up the single fare. On another note, the TVM's are now able to sell BZ tickets, although I couldn't buy tickets for tomorrow...

My thoughts are with the driver and passengers. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-28306458

While departing a Reading bound SWT service at Richmond on Saturday afternoon, I couldn't help but notice the 70s and 80s BR promotional posters on the stairwell going up from the platform.

Passing through Cheam for the first time, I noticed the massive space between the two platforms, which isn't apparent elsewhere between Epsom and Sutton. I'm assuming there was an island platform, was this used to overtake stoppers in the past or for terminating services?

I'm planning to travel to Epsom on the 30th May after 1000 with my mother who has a Older Person's Freedom Pass, travelling either via West Croydon or Balham changing for Southern services. For me, it's pretty straight forward, I intend to buy a Forest Hill to Epsom NOT LONDON CDR using the...

Checking TfL's single fare finder between Forest Hill and Embankment, it claims the cash fare is £4.70 single However, despite being part of the London Overground network since 2010, stations south of New Cross Gate have still sold the more expensive cash tickets which include a NR/TfL...

The comedian Russell Brand admitted in an interview that he still occasionally evades paying the fare between Liverpool Street and Chelmsford. http://www.standard.co.uk/news/celebritynews/russell-brand-i-sometimes-bunk-the-train-9270874.html
