Lets's not get into a discussion about the Wrights and wrongs of the NB4L project please folks (see what I did there?). I'm not... I was merely under the assumption that the card was for London Underground/Overground/Mainline - Was not aware it could be used for buses as well. This is exactly the sort of useful information the group can give a new person like myself |

This is exactly the sort of useful information the group can give a new person like myself I don't think the mod comment was aimed at you.... Using a travelcard on a bus, you are supposed to show it to the driver on boarding - he should log it on his machine (you will see the word "pass" come up on the screen). On multientry buses (507, 521, bendybuses when they ran, and now also on Boris's mobile saunas (sorry, iconic design statements), you can board by any door and don't need to show it unless asked (helps to have it to hand though). |

Ah, so another useful bit of information... I shall attempt to try this in the future |

In practice nobody seems to be bothered but in theory you can only use the centre or rear doors of a NB4L if you are using the card reader.
