Part of the attraction of the scheme is not having to queue up to buy
tickets (and also not needing to know the system well enough, including
speaking English, to be able to decide which tickets to buy).

So you'd pay twice as much

Where's this "twice as much" come from?

Capped oyster price for an adult: peak/off peak 8.00/6.60. Cash price for a
child travelcard 4.00/3.00.

not to queue up, would you?

Have you seen the queues at St Pancras?

It's not always like that
