TfL acknowledges contactless technology risk
In message , at
06:26:30 on Fri, 27 Jun 2014, Matthew Dickinson remarked: It looks like National Express Essex Thameside plan to roll out CPC ticketing across their network http://nationalexpressgroup.com/medi...?newsitem=1355 "Smart ticketing across the route from day one, with route-wide contactless payment rolled out in 2017." They are the DfT's chosen pilot for ITSO, so I expect the contactless payment will be from your ITSO wallet, not your credit card. ie CPC= Contactless Payment Card, not Contactless Credit Card It barely qualifies for the term "network" though, having just one point-to-point line with a loop via Greys. Which also explains why they have good performance figures. No pesky late-running cross-country trains from Bristol to Edinburgh competing for their assets. ps: "Passengers given a new right to be sold the cheapest ticket for any c2c journey and compensation if they are not." Isn't this the case already?? Or is it in fact a right to be sold the cheapest ticket, but no redress if you aren't. -- Roland Perry |
