Oyster Extension Permit

Inquisitive, I added one to my Oystercard at Barking Station (using a machine of course). It showed up on my account as "PAYG enabled" or similar, with "Bus" (which puzzled me as I hadn't been on one. Some time later, I noticed I was being charged £4.20 entry each morning and evening at Barking. I never bother swiping at S Tottenham or Harringay Green Lanes as I have a zones 3 & 4 annual travelcard loaded onto the Oystercard. I resumed swiping. The first time the system deducted £4.20 at Barking and credited £4.20 at S Tottenham, and then the problem was fixed.

So that's how an OEP works.
