Yes, I'm as shocked as anyone else! I'm going to try ordering one online
now...


So, available to order online now, can be topped up at stations from
15th December, can be used from 5th January on tube/DLR

What makes you think you can't use prepay now?

Because you can't! (Unless they've changed the rules since last Friday)
As I've mentioned before, if you load pre-pay now (by accident) you can
either wait until January and use it, or get a refund via CSC
