OTOH auto top up is absolutely wonderful.

So here is the challenge: is there someone out there who regularly uses
online top up, and why do they use it in preference to manual top ups
at ticket machines?

I, like Daniel, am genuinely interested to know.

I never used online topup (was it even available then) but for two years
now I've been on auto-topup, which is great.

As an occasional user only, and generally visiting London for meetings,
I'm most often in a hurry and using (relatively) unfamiliar stations
away from the terminus. So topping up with a machine was a bit of a
lottery, of finding one at the right time without a queue.
