IMO if a station is evacuated for any reason, TfL have two ways to deal
with Oystercards:

1. Set up a booth with a battery-powered wireless validator and simply
have
everyone touch their card to erase the entry record, then let them go.
2. Do the same as above, but instead generate an exit record and charge
them
for their abortive journey.

Or option 3. Cancel all unresolved journeys on the central system for
people
who could have been effected. Having had local staff make announcements
that
you won't be charged.

Dave.



Option three is what they used the other day when there was a network wide
failure of gates. I however did not hear any reassuring P/A's at the
stations I went through.

the zones.

Says who? The signs say otherwise.

Many staff have asked the same question but there is no corporate answer
yet.

Shouldn't this issue have been resolved *before* pre-pay went live?

The signs are wrong. Possibly the Prepay / Travelcard logic will be
changed at some point to agree with the signs.

As I said - Says who? Are we to take your word for it that all the
signs and literature are incorrect?

Most of the other posters and leaflets (although they are mostly not
well phrased.)
