Imagine the scene on a Monday Morning. Everyone queueing up to renew their season tickets, or to top up their Pay as you go balances.
Now imagine that everyone who used their Oyster Card on Saturday morning between 0530 and 0930 cant use any self service machine and is now queueing up at a ticket office?
Well you don’t need to imagine it, as it happened this morning. While TheTicketCollector was travelling through Paddington there were very long queues of people waiting to have their Oyster cards replaced because of London Undergrounds “very rare” fault.
According to a member of staff I spoke to, the “very rare” fault messed up a lot of peoples Oyster cards and corrupted them, thus making them nothing more then a piece of expensive plastic. This member of staff advised me to queue up with the rest of the corrupted card owners and get a replacement. The member of staff then laughed and said that Oyster has been nothing “but a major f**k up ever since it came into being, even I have had to get my bl**dy staff pass replaced!”
TheTicketCollector is still waiting for his refund.
