      “Must be advised to use TfL rail…”
      Does that mean you’ll charge them tube fares, or only the scam-expensive rail ones?

        There is ticket acceptance in place for paper LU tickets on the TfL rail that weekend. Granted most people would use Oyster or Contactless, sometimes they can set it so that the tube fare is charged as it’s the advertised alternative route. Not sure if that’s the case over Easter but I’ll try and find out.

  Regarding tastecard, Cineworld unlimited cards give you a free year’s subscription. I’ve got one but the mobile app point blank refuses to open. There are dozens of reviews in the play store saying exactly the same but no sign of a fix, so beware you might not be able to make use of it! Still I guess a good source of points for free. I might sign-up for another and cancel!
