The Evening Standard are today reporting a bug with the Oyster card, but
they don't say what the bug is. Can anyone shed any light on this?

One bug is that if you finish your journey at a station with Oyster
readers on the gates where prepay is not active (such as Camden Road),
you will have an £5.10 unresolved journey on your card, even if your
have a valid travelcard covering all the zones of your journey.

Are you saying that Camden Road - where Pre-pay is not valid for
journeys to and from - has gates (weren't any last time I was there
which was years ago, admitedly) with Oyster readers on thim?

Frankly I'm amazed that Silverlink has installed Oyster readers there
given that NR TOCs aren't part of the Oyster scheme and that other
Silverlink NR stations (near me anyway) don't have Oysters readers.

Cheers,

Jason.
