Oyster card

[rockyracoon]

I've just ordered an Oyster photocard for my daughter online, has anyone one this before? I want know how long it takes for them to decide if the uploaded photo is ok, what a palaver that was aswell. Any ideas anyone?

Thanks for any replies RR.

Never registered my oyster card and since I have learned that it tracks your movements I never will.

Dave, what do you mean it tracks your movements? it has to know where you've been to know what fares to take off.

Rocky it has history. My card is unregistered but it has a history as shown to me by an inspector. I use it once or twice a year at most, the inspector told me when and where I used it in 2009??

If someone can put a name to it??

Ah, I see, now that doesn't really bother me and it's cheaper than cash for single fares.

I've had an Oyster card since they first came out, but I've never had (to have) a photocard. Is this a new thing...?

[rockyracoon]

Mark it's for kids, they need a photocard as they get cheap/free travel.

think the youngsters have to have a photo on their oyster for their free travel, MarkRae. Don't know how long they take to process tho.

Just checked emails and it seems the photo was ok, thankfully. I had to download a poxy photo resizing program as my Olympus one refused to save anything, jeez, when you think something should be simple!

Oyster card came in the post today, 24 hours after ordering, how good is at?
