ps. When the ticket offices are eventually closed they'll have to modify
the text on the back of these vended-Oysters, which currently states:

"Found cards should be returned to any Tube station ticket office".


Or they could have some kind of letter box in the bit of the station
where the ticket machines are that the general public would probably
call a ticket office. I think they already have some for unwanted cards
with the card balance and deposit going to charity (Railway Children?).


The "found" cards would have to be very well differentiated from the "donated" ones.
Can you imagine the fuss if someone lost a card and then the balance was donated,
rather than them be reunited with it?

O.k. then, two slots.

One marked "Donated Cards" the other marked "Found Cards"

How does that sound ?
