You can buy Anytime and Off-Peak tickets up to a year in advance,
however you'll only be able to buy these over the telephone or at a
station ticket office.

This sub-thread is about a hypothetical requirement for all Oyster
Travelcard season holders to always touch in and touch out.

Live with it.

If incorrect statements get made in a thread then of course thread
drift occurs.

Wait 'til we get (via the Oyster HelpLine) to the cost of 0845 numbers
(cheaper on a landline, more expensive on most mobiles)

My point was that the PP (as well as at least one other poster in this
sub-thread) had misunderstood the post he was replying to due to the
absence of this context.

Is 020 7227 7886 not still working?

I think that's the one that Saynoto0870 says just gives a recorded
message telling us to call 0845 330 9876

New Oyster Helpline! (TfL)
Reply #10 - Dec 28th, 2009, 9:05am Hi there!

I was trying to get through to the Oyster helpline the other day and
found out that the number provided here (02072277891 - a
non-geographical alternative to 08453309881) now just redirects to a
message telling me to "please put down the handset and call
08453309876". I also tried 02072221234, but it's just an automatic
reply telling me the new number. Does anybody have a non-geographical
alternative to 08453309876
