Receipts for Oyster PAYG journeys?

weebit

Hi everyone.

I have a new job where I will have to travel all over London. The company will refund all my travel costs but I need to hand in receipts to them to claim the money, no matter how small it is.

I have been using an oyster card with Pay As you Go credit on it rather than buying paper tickets on the overland trains because it's cheaper, easier and counts towards the daily price cap when used in conjunction with bus and tube travel so it keeps costs down for the company.

But is there anyway to get a receipt for each journey I make? I can go online and print off my journey history but sometimes it misses some journeys off and isn't presented in the best way. but would this be suitable? i'd rather have an actual receipt.

can anyone offer any help or advice?

Log in to Oyster web account. You should see a history of all journeys made using that Oyster card.

As movilogo said, log in or register your card so you get an onlien account. Otherwise there is a fare finder on the TFL website that will tell you how much journeys would have been

Just re-read OP. To be fair, I have only ever had about 2 journeys that didn't show up properly in my online account. But I agree its a bit stupid the way they do the thing about taking off the cash fare and then crediting back. Why don't you email them to ask if they can improve the system?

Ask for a print out at the ticket office, that's what I do.

Itemises the last 10 or so journeys/transactions.

If they moan and tell you to do it online tell them it does not work, because that is quite often the truth.
