This is only true for the first time, to activate auto-top-up. After
that the card will top up at any gate you enter through.

Does this mean that after you have applied for auto-top-up, your
nominated station has to be the _first_ one you then touch in at?
(or could you use your existing PAYG balance elsewhere first?)

Thanks

You can use it anywhere, but the auto top up function won't be
activated until you go through the nominated station. I'm not sure if
you can set it to activate a bus or tram as well.
