For example, Oyster IS now accepted on Heathrow Express, and online top-ups are no longer tied to a specific station (although the deadline to pick-up is shorter). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.90.48.58 ( talk) 03:52, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
'Since 2003...' - a date would be useful (so 'Between 2003 and ...'). Jackiespeel ( talk) 12:19, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
Recently, an IP editor has been
replacing "GBP" with "sterling" on four articles (including this one) claiming that "GBP" is a useless "meaningless line of machine code" and that other articles use "sterling" instead of "GBP". An
attempt to change this to "British pound sterling" was reverted with Revert WP:POINTy edit. GBP is a meaningless line of machine code; Sterling is the actual currency name. See renminbi vs, "CNY"
.
I fail to see how this is WP:POINTY. One would not refer to the United States dollar as the "dollar", for example, as that would be confusing. Hence, it makes sense to mention the country as well (namely "British pound sterling"). – Epicgenius ( talk) 15:50, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
I propose merging Oyster card (pay as you go) on National Rail into this article as it doesn't make a lot of sense for them to be separate. Stifle ( talk) 11:06, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
