Talking of which, it's gone very quiet on the "Contactless" rollout
on the tube.

No date yet but some feedback from the Mayorwatch blog that may be
of interest.

"TfL say customers will only ever pay the lowest fare for their
journey"

I bet that doesn't include price-matching split ticketing of the kind
someone was discussing earlier.


Hmm. Time to involve Trading Standards or the ASA?


TfL certainly used to say for Oyster that "customers will only ever pay the
lowest fare for their journey", but I thought it had been dropped a few
years ago (there are a fair number of scenarios, things like National Rail
journeys with railcards starting between 16.00 and 19.00, where Oyster
doesn't offer the lowest fare).

I'm amazed this claim is being made for contactless.
