Ideally though, I'd just walk through the gate without visitng the

This is exactly how pre-pay will work.

a) You go through an entry gate. The value of the most expensive tube
journey gates gets take off the Oyster card.

b) You go through an exit gate. The balance between the most
expensive journey and your actual journey is restored onto the card.


Rog.


It is fun watching the frustration on several Oyster Card users, when
their card won't operate through their handbag or wallet and they have
to get the card out to operate the gates!!!! I'll stick with my
annual season ticket.
