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.

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.

I always ask for a receipt when buying a ticket which I will be claiming
expenses for. OK, nearly always ask for one...
