It's perfectly possible to dislike the invasion of privacy, due to its
tracking your movements.
Perhaps you have an HRH in front of you name and then they might be
interested. Otherwise you're paranoid. It allows LT to see where
the majority of journeys happen and can plan accordingly.
They can do that without knowing my name and address.

There is a data protection issue here, isn't there. The collection of
name and address is for different purposes (e.g. returning a lost Oyster
to you, mailshots) from the collection of data about journeys made
(making better service provision). It might be illegal to bring the two
together. If you are really worried, I suggest you ask them explicitly.

Data Protection is no safeguard against the sort of clandestine use
feared by those anxious to protect their privacy.
