It’s all fun in Travel Information land because we are getting very interesting calls about the minimum £5 top up charge at booking offices.
One caller thought that you could only top up £5, £10, £15 etc. Another thought the £5 was to enter a draw to win a monthly Travel Card!
An on-the-ball pensioner told me although she got a Freedom pass some of her out-of-town friends did not. This was an excuse to close booking offices and make people like her feel unsafe in what she called a friendless, souless station. She said London Underground would lose many of their older travellers.
However my favourite was the lady who told me the £5 top up was wrong, but it did not matter as Jeremy Corbyn was her MP and he would fix it.
