Good news, I must admit I like my Oyster. I even got one for my old mum who loves it as well due to its simplicity. Although its probably really because I am paying for her travel

Living in Paris, and using a "Pass Navigo" which looks much like the Oyster card, I use an Oyster every time I come to London. There is one great feature in your card system which is the "load it then pay as you go" system (which is linked with a rebate on the prices of tickets); we lack this function in Paris system.

Concerning SWT, have they declined the proposal for operational reasons (dealing with the crowd at Waterloo) or financial matters only? It's a pity such a major network does not join the system.
