If anyone wants a dead cert number for the lottery this week, may I
suggest 24; the error code that shows you've travelled out of zone on
your Oyster and have no Pre-Pay..... not that you ever wanted any or had
even heard of it.

So when I'd finished reflecting on the fact that I alone was responsible
for the January price hike, there was good old 24, popping up over and
over again to add yet another opportunity for some ad hoc Passenger
Education...

Is there a full list of the extended error codes now that Oyster
is running? The list in the FAQ looks distinctly pre-Oyster.

Why would people expect their out of zone travelcard to work anyway?

Yes, runs to several sheets.

What they didn't expect was that having bought a magnetic extension
ticket, (given in at the end of the journey) that their duly swiped
Oyster card would record a debit on their non-existent Pre-Pay....
