The Freedom Pass also can clash (error 94 on the reader)




That's (very) rarely a clash but a mis-read when someone waves their


card about and expected the reader to magically read it. Freedom pass


users are one of the worst offenders at this but not unique.




A proper CPC clash is 70 or 71 which is reporting it's detected 2 cards


or a read error.




Those more observant of you may have noticed that recently the UTS gates


have had a software upgrade and many of these codes now report a 'plain


text' translation of the error code on the second text line.




What does Error 80 mean, BTW? That is the code that I have experienced

once or twice on the Contactless pilot programme.


Code 80 is "Card not approved by issuer"

TfL say "Advise the customer to sign in to their online account to resolve the issue. They may also need to contact their card issuer
Note: When an issue is resolved and the card is re-approved for travel, it can take up to 30 minutes for all readers across the network to be updated. Until then, the card could be rejected by the readers. Customers should be advised to use a different payment method (such as an Oyster card, pay cash fare or another contactless payment card) if they want to travel immediately"
