The Oyster system used on London's transport network has broken down two
weeks after another fault left 40,000 customers with corrupted cards.

The latest problem has affected pay as you go Oystercards on the Tube
network.

Barriers are being kept open at all stations until the problem has been
rectified, Transport for London (TfL) has confirmed.

It was only LU that was affected - nothing else. A notice was issued
this afternoon indicating an incorrect file had been loaded to the LU
system by Transys. It's been corrected and the gates are working
properly now.

While everyone is enjoying the card hacking speculation I don't think
this problem is anything to do with it.
