Default oyster unresolved journey

But how do you touch in and out at stations without any Oyster readers?

My normal commute (with a zone 1,2,3 monthly on Oyster) is from West
Ealing to Paddington, neither of which seem to have readers. I sometimes
travel from Ealing Broadway (which does have readers) to Paddington.

So shouldn't I regularly be having problems with unresolved journeys?
Perhaps they are never noticed as I always renew online.

Yes... That's why you're getting unresolved journeys. Until Pre Pay was
enabled it didn't matter so much. Unfortunately the information for
passengers with season tickets has been less than clear....



The information is clear "...customers using prepay must touch in and
out..." But, I'm led to beleive on here, incorrect :-)



No, that information is absolutely correct; what seems to be confusing
some people is the idea that they don't need to do the same if they have
period tickets on Oyster. It is in *that* way that some of the publicity
has been misleading. Everyone with an Oyster (except Freedom Passes and
Staff Passes) now also have Pre Pay enabled whether they like it or not
and whether they use it or not.
