My experiment to find out if PAYG can be put on an older person's Freedom Pass (FP) has resulted in failure. The Oystercard website says it is possible - in fact it proffers the information, and it happily sent the Oyster£ to the barriers at Barking, but it failed to get onto the cards. This is a pity as it means FP holders who want to travel before 9am need to juggle two cards.
This would seem to be a card compatability issue.

Oyster PAYG (Prepay) on Freedom Passes
TfL tell me that Oyster Pay As You Go (PAYG, formerly prepay) can't be loaded onto Oystercards containing Freedom Passes. Didn't make any sense to me - so I tried it online. www.oystercard.com recognised by its number that the card contained a freedom pass, but did not restrict what products could be loaded onto it.
This makes much more sense, but I can't accept any responsibility if this doesn't work properly. If it does, however, it means Freedom Pass Holders can access cheaper Oyster Fares outside the time that their Freedom Pass is valid.
