They should abolish that £3 Oyster deposit for prepay.


For the first time, I obtained an Oyster card today, because I wanted a
1-week Zone 1 and 2 Travelcard. It cost me £22.20 - no £3 deposit was
charged. Was this a mistake?


The Oyster deposit is paid by those that do not get a travelcard loaded
at the time of obtaining the card, hence "deposit for prepay" above.
