Having just attended pre-pay and smartcard training,I can confirm that
price capping will not be available due to a problem with the software.
So all customers that intend to make multiple journeys on LUL after Jan 4th
should be advised to buy 1day travelcards.
The full rollout of oyster will not be complete until Feb 28th nee march.


Can anyone confirm what I would end up paying (via Oyster prepay) in the
following cases from Jan the 4th and also once they get the software
problems sorted. I only make these journeys 2 or 3 times a week so a
weekly travel card is no good for me. At present I buy a daily LT Card
for 11.70 GBP

I have had a look at the website which tells me nothing as there are no
prices on there for zones 6 A-D and I have never had less then 12
people ahead of me on the Oyster phone line so this group seems to be
the best way of getting reliable info.

1.Amersham to Oxford Circus (weekday morning peak) via Chiltern line to
Marylebone then Bakerloo line to Oxford Circus, bearing in mind that
there is no entrance to Marylebone underground at present so I would
enter the Bakerloo line at Baker St.

2.Amersham to Oxford Circus (weekday morning peak) via Met/Bakerloo
line (Would this be a single fare of 5.50 GBP?).

3.Return via either of these 2 routes in the evening (Weekday).

4. same return journey on both Saturday and Sunday which at present
costs me 10 GBP for a weekend travel card.


The new booklet, Fares For 2004, doesn't mention A - D either but
according to my initial information the single fare on Pre Pay (i.e..
the maximum from A - D) would be £5.50
