They are perfectly normal fully functional Oyster cards.

Any bridge over the Thames downstream of Tower Bridge needs to be either as high as the upper walkways on Tower Bridge or an opening (lifting/swinging) bridge. The plan for Rotherhithe (which has been punted into the long grass but not scrapped) is for an opening bridge carrying pedestrians and...

In the short term a ferry (or extension of the clipper) from Barking Riverside to a new pier in Thamesmead would seem to offer significant benefits for relatively little cost and complexity. In the longer term, a fixed link between Thamesmead and Abbey Wood should be just one part of a route...

(pedant alert) They will almost certainly be given a fine, and while the amount they could be fined is (I think) unlimited, the fine they actually receive will be a specific finite amount.

Its unfortunate but...

The same legal risk exists for other media. Where the cause is not known it is best (legally and morally) not to assume and/or mislead people into thinking that one party is at fault, even if they are statistically more likely to be.

The point is that at the time the statement was released the railway did not know the reason the car moved. This could be acts by the driver (intentional or otherwise) or acts by a third party (intentional or otherwise). Underlying reasons might be one or more of errors by train crew, errors by...
