So will the gate at the destination let you out, if after deducting the
correct fare, the balance on the card is negative?
The reason I ask is that I infrequently visit London, and on my last journey
I commenced with £3.00 on the card (Z1 to Waterloo) (eurostar was there in
early November)
and now I have £1.50 sitting on card which won't be used for a year or two
(it is a registered card-- dunno how long they will allow it to remain
inactive)
The card previously had a 7 day Travelcard on it, so it has no £3 deposit.
I suspect to avoid giving Tfl a long term interest free loan, :-) I should
try to commence my last journey with only £1.50 on the card.
