It looks like I need to get an Oyster card for pre-pay but I
regularly need to produce receipts for travel. That is easy with
paper tickets but how do I do that with Oyster pre-pay? Ask Oyster
doesn't have anything.

You can ask for a print-out at an Underground ticket office, covering
your last dozen or so journeys. I think you can request one online
too, though they post it to you.

Not according to the Oyster helpline this morning. I specifically asked
too.

Single tickets were always swallowed by the machine at the end of the
journey anyway. Won't your accountant really accept a simple list of
journeys and fares? Have you asked him?

Not if I asked to keep the ticket as a receipt. They tore it and let me
through the barrier. I'm checking what the accountant will accept.
