Description
Marnie Church
There needs to be at least one, if not two more ticket machines to top up Oyster cards at Streatham Hill station. Frequently I am late for work due to either long queues or, more frequently the fact the machine is not working, as was the case this morning.
I then have to go and get cash out and find a newsagent that is actually open at that time of the morning (7.15am) so far I have only found one that is open, so then there is a queue in there too.
Currently the machine is broken and has been all week-surely it should have been a priority to get it fixed or replaced!
For such a busy station, it is frankly ridiculous.

To the Station Manager,
I am writing in regards to the ticket machine situation.
My friends in Streatham and I are growing more & more Frustrated with the lack of Ticket machines enabled for Oyster cards.
There needs to be at least one, if not two more ticket machines to top up Oyster cards at Streatham Hill station. Frequently I am late for work due to either long queues or, more frequently the fact the machine is not working, as was the case this morning.
