Oyster Card: I've not used it for over two years

[PeterY]

This Saturday I intend to use my Oyster Card. I've not used it since the pandemic started. There's only about £4 on it.

Will it still work?

I've not seen anything to suggest that credit on an Oyster Card disappears after any amount of time. I have one registered to me that I left at my mother's house, so she could either lend it to visitors staying with her, or use it if her concession pass got lost or damaged - it hadn't been used for longer than that and it kept its credit.

Alternatively, if you'd rather cash it in and use contactless in future, the TFL page about getting a refund for a card that's no longer wanted is here.

Yes, it will still work.

Yes, it will still work.

Thank you Hadders. I just need to put my new Senior railcard on it.

It is strange that no expiry was ever put on them, as it creates a permanent "liability" line in their accounts.
