London Underground: Oyster Card top-up locations extended
10 Oct 2011

People who regularly use London's transit system may be pleased to know that the number of locations where they can top up their Oyster Cards has now been increased.

South West Trains has said that all stations in the London Travelcard area will include facilities to add money to the contactless payment cards, Elmbridge Today reports.

This includes Thames Ditton and Hampton Court, which may mean travel is even easier for commuters and tourists.

Andy Pitt from London Travelcard said: "This is a significant improvement for our passengers travelling within the London area and will provide us with an opportunity to offer even more choice."

In August, the Guardian reported that Transport for London had upgraded its journey planning telephone service with the launch of voice recognition technology, which could prove useful to people using any stations served by the Oyster Card.

There is also a text messaging service for even better information about updates.
