Oyster - buying travelcard after journey on same day
I remember catching the night bus home in the early hours one day. Later that day, I bought a 7 day travelcard on my Oyster. On my journey history, it gave me an 'automatic refund' for the bus fare
Is this the case in general? If I make a journey and then buy a travelcard on the same day, will that journey be refunded?
