Some lovely confused and wrong comments about Oyster on there ...

Yes, this is what we call 'members of the public'. Oyster's current
state of needing a degree to understand it is not, in my opinion, one of
its strengths.

I agree that London Bridge is a bluddy awful station, particularly for
interchanging, and always has been, but with the reduced overcrowding
on Southern, I think I'd always favour it unless I actually wanted the
Jubilee. I also wouldn't fancy my chances of getting into the Jubilee
in either direction at Canada Water.

Remember the Jubilee should have been operating at 30% higher capacity
for several months before the ELLX opened. Hardly the ELLX team's fault
Tube Lines mucked up so badly.

I could understand the problems with the jubilee if it was still 1995. But
surely in 2010 moving block ATO should be a turnkey install? Its not
exactly bleeding edge tech. Why are they having such problems?

A lot of of it appears to stem from thinking it would be a turnkey install..

[from memory, serious issues integrating with non-moving block non-ATO
on the bits shared with the Met plus the usual software issues on the
bit east of Green Park which they assumed would be easy].
