Your refusal to understand the position of people who can't use
Oyster like you is what is really tiresome. People living outside
the zones can't do what you do.

Can they not reach the pads? Have people outside London not yet
learned how to walk on their hind legs? I don't think so.

You don't use King's Cross do you? Do you know exactly how far the
ticket office is from the gates?

On what basis would London Underground and Transport for London
have devised a system and rolled out to the whole of the UK? Under
what remit? They can't even get the rail network in London to accept
Oyster fully so what hope would they have (and what possible motive)
to roll it out beyond London's border?

If you desite using Oyster for all of your journies so much I suggest
you move to its catchment area or stop winging about living beyond it.

They just shouldn't rip such people off so much. I have no desire to
live in London, thank you. I got over it in 1968.
