    I see we had some real stimulating conversation in here today :rolleyes: :D

    "stimulus-response, stimulus-response... don't you ever think?"

    :p
    Oh yeah? Well, I've had about enough of morons and halfwits, dolts, dunces, dullards and dumbbells - and you chowderhead yokel, you blithering hayseed, you - you've had enough of me?

    As you swipe it at barriers it will tell you how much is left on it so you will know when you are getting to the point you need to top up.

    does it ? how's that work then ? does it speak to you...?

    just got a free one as well, in case i ever need to hop on a bus and haven't got a travelcard.

    ok my free Oyster card has arrived... i am going to add credit to it online... how much is the train to Wembley and shit like that? can i easily add more to it when i'm in London? and why are women so gorgeous and stuff?
    one important thing:
    Oyster does not work on trains (a bloody pain that is believe me! it's going to change, but god knows when :rolleyes: ).
    so if you plan at all to use the trains and not just Bus/tube, you're better off buying a day travelcard.

    the barrier displays what's left when you go in, and what's been charged and what's left when you go out (just the last part on buses).

    The whole tube-being-the-tube and the train-being-something-completely-different business is so damn confusing.

    :D:o a 'senior moment'? At what age does it stop being a 'blonde moment' and become a 'senior moment?
    The Astoria??? Orgazmic!
    Verona??? it's all surmountable
    Dublin 23.08.06 "The beauty of Ireland, right there!"
    Wembley? We all believe!
    Copenhagen?? your light made us stars
    Chicago 07? And love
    What a different life
    Had I not found this love with you

    the fucking leaflet thing told me it works on trains!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lying buggers that they are :D:D

    i dont have the leaflet but i'm sure it said trains were included (well some routes anyway!!)

    soooo confusing
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    it will only work on 'trains' if it is a weekly or monthly travel card
    or some trains for that matter
    2003 - Sydney x3,
    2006 - Reading Festival,
    2007 - Katowice, London, Nijmegen, Rock Werchter,
    2008 - MSG x2, Hartford, Mansfield x2, Beacon Theater,
    2009 - Melbourne, Sydney,
    2010 - I watched it go to fire!
    2011 - EV Brisbane x3, Newcastle, Sydney x3,
    2012 - Manchester x 2, Amsterdam x2, Prague, Berlin x2, Stockholm, Oslo, Copenhagen,
    2014 - Sydney, EV Sydney x3

    I wave to all my Friends... Yeah!

    and on PAYG a handful of trains:

    oh, and forget online top-up (auto or not), you have to designate WHICH station you go to 'pick up' that top up; you can't just swipe at any, let alone on the bus. so when you get off the train/plane i London, just top it up there instead, it's simpler.

    the tube is the underground, other parts of the world might call it the metro or the subway, or the s bahn
    the fact that large parts of the underground are actually above the ground is a different matter all together.

    the trains, are pretty much all above the ground, but do go underground as well. they usually go alot further out to the suburbs, and outside of london.

    any more confused now? i am :confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:
