I did manage to top up my PAYG balance though. I decided then to go to the ticket office and (surprise, surprise) nobody in the ticket office knew what anOysterExtension Permit was. I told them my situation and one of them said I could just touch in and touch out at the other end while someone else told me it would be cheaper if I bought a paper ticket extension. The TfL website still mentions OEPs so it amazes me that at a big mainline station like Charing Cross the staff haven't been trained properly for the launch. Has anyone had similar issues on other routes? In the meantime - I reckon the advice was sound - you will be charged correctly if you simply touch in and out. *(No penalty fare would be enforceable even if they dared to issue). Indeed. Today, I travelled from Ladywell to London Bridge on PAYG with a Z3-4 travelcard: none of my local Oyster retailers knew the first thing about OEPs when I tried to set one, although the option should be present on their machines. I was charged the correct PAYG fare for a Z1-2 journey when I touched out at London Bridge. |

Yes but as stated elsewhere on the thread there are a number of stations and operators who don't have theOysterpads on the machines - National Express doesn't have them at Forest Gate or Stratford; Barking (which operator?) didn't have them before Christmas. In adddition, as Rupert says below, Southeastern certainly don't have an OEP option on the machines which have now been enabled for Oyster. |

It doesn't seem to relate to upgrading self- service machines. |

I'm not sure about the other LO only stations but I'd be surprised if TfL themselves had dragged their feet on this (many Overground stations didn't have any ticket machines before TfL got their hands on them). |
