I think we're all prepared to entertain the *possiblity* that it might
be good for someone, but you don't actually give any indication of who
they might be or why.

Do tell. *My experience echoes Mr Stocks', so I would also be interested
to hear from people who do get use out of the service.


One possibility is parents who want to top up their kids' oysters

I'd forgotten that, but only those aged 11+ have to pay: younger kids
can travel free on the tube with an Oyster photocard.
