Contactless on the tube and rail

Starts today, and featured on BBC TV local news.
Unhelpfully they show someone touching a reader and being told they've
been charged £1.35, that must be a bus, shirley?
Could be a discounted PAYG journey on rail. The bus fare was £1.35
two years ago and I don't think any CPC functionality was live back
then. [...]
It was - CPC payments went live on London buses on 13 December 2012.
(Discounts - Railcards etc - can't be associated with CPCs.)
So perhaps a bit of "library footage" from 2012?
ps What's the bus fare now? The TfL site is always extraordinarily
reluctant to discuss actual fares, other than "how to pay". But I
thought I found a reference to £1.35 today.
