Default London trains, swiping the yellow pods

I now have a swipe card for free travel in London, (yes thats right im
******** old now, official). Ive seen people here warbling on about
swiping
when leaving the system to avoid maximum fare or whatever. SWMBO also
insists this is needed. (my Local Council picks up the bill for the free
travel). Right, I went up to London, swiped the card both ends. Came
back,
swiped in but didnt swipe out because the barriers were not in us as
they
are not when station not staffed. I might be old but I dont come home
for
********* tea, do I !!!

SWMBO thinks my card and therefore council will be overcharged, will it?

Sounds like a question for uk.transport.london. They're very good.


Not today they're not.

The Oyster card system is broken again...


I meant the newsgroup, not TfL!
