Oyster product pickup improvements
From this April it should be possible to pick up online Oyster purchases within 30 minutes, and without having to nominate a particular station. It will also be possible to pick up purchases on buses.
TfL are also planning to introduce an Oyster app to complement this improvement. Details are at: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/reque...20Redacted.pdf |

I got caught out by the evening deadline too once, topping up for a planned journey the next day. Living in Cambridge I can't even be sure where I'll start an Oyster journey.

I nominated Edgware station thinking I'd be back there soon, but haven't made it yet and haven't been concerned enough to change the nomination. |
