I also saw one of these posters today - I took particular note of it
given the previous discussions here on utl had suggested this change

posters tomorrow and post a link here.

Ah well, whatever the date people, start using your Oysters right

My sympathies go out to LU ticket office staff who'll be on the
receiving end of many angry words from irate passengers.

The poster does say something like "98% of Londerners use their Oyster
properly. Are you part of the 2% that don't?" - which is a good way of
putting the point across.

This de-facto 'penalty' for incomplete journeys does plug a hole in the
Oyster system. But there will inevitably be much frustration and
frothing to come.
