Which I think is outrageous. Unless the OP was paying by cheque or
something, I am sure that this is not right. Can anyone check the
legality of this?

Sorry, may not of been absoloutely clear in the original post. The
charge is for paying by card for Oyster... They often charge 80p for
paying by credit/debit card on any transaction that includes an Oyster
part but not on transactions which don't include Oyster. As I don't
very often carry £40 with me I regard it as a charge for using topping
up Oyster.
