| Comment | Essentially how it works is you go to the ticket machines, and then you can put your card in, just like one of the regular orange smartcards. Then you can load money onto it (I think a maximum of £50 at a time?), and then scan at at the turnstiles.
It's not free, but the price is £1 single and £1.50 for a return, and there's a daily cap of £1.50 (so anything after your second journey is free).
You can also go to the ticket offices and get a paper ticket if you'd prefer - there, just show your card and say what type of ticket you want. You can't get an all day that way, though.
Also, if you have credit on your card, if your card is lost or it's due to be replaced, make sure you let them know there's credit on it so it can be transferred onto your new card. |
