I phoned the helpline, and apparantly you need a photocard even for a
prepay oyster (god knows why, when the site says you can lend it to
family and friends!). However the person I spoke to did explain to me
how I could get a prepay oyster and a blank photocard sent together, so
I can just bung a photo in when I got it (I don't live in London). I
presume they don't want everyone to do this automatically or they'd have
put details on the site, but it may be worth phoning the 0845 number and
explaining, if you can't get to a tube station easily at the minute.

I went and got a new Oyster with a 7 day Travelcard loaded on it
yesterday. I had to supply a photocard number (my NR one seemed to be
good enough), but the fella stated I didn't need a dedicated LU one
for my Oyster card as it was a 7 dayer. In addition, as PrePay is
*officially* transferable ("you can lend it family and friends" quoth
the website) why would a photocard be of any use?
