Prepay seems to have been withdrawn as a payment option on underground

Perhaps it's just so that they ca get ready to "launch" the facilty
officially. A similar thing happened with the bus prepay- it worked
for months unofficially, then they turned if off for two months prior
to the official launch. I get the feeling that the Oyster developers
set up the system with everything enabled, which has caused
accountancy problems for TfL as their accountancy systems weren't set
up to cope with the system, certainly it seems like it was an
accountancy problem over anything else which caused the big delay on
the buses and trams!
