Gosh, and that URL is so easy to remember and is so easy to read when
I'm at a station, away from a computer!

Even the posters at stations saying where Oyster is and is not valid are
hopelessly confusing. Thameslink's ones are great, they say something
like "Oyster is only valid at these stations" and then show you a route
diagram with bits of it in different colours. It's not at all clear
without close study what the colours mean and hence where Oyster is
valid.

It wouldn't hurt to think like a serial killer every so often.
Purely for purposes of prevention, of course.
