You therefore have nothing to worry about with regards to the new fares
regime.
I know that. I have repeatedly (but apparently unsuccessfully) being
trying to say that Oyster offers no benefits to travellers such as me.
TfL would love the Oyster Pre Pay system to go London-wide and be
rolled out across the whole National Rail network in the capital.
Indeed, and I would love it too. But given that is not the case, Oyster
is a lame duck for many occasional commuters, particularly south of the
Thames where most journeys involve National Rail.
Pre-pay is ideal for the increasing number of occasional commuters, for
whom a season ticket is a waste of money. But failure to bring on board
the NR network has seriously compromised the value of pre-pay Oyster for
a significant number of people.
