Therefore I think I should be charged at the off-peak rate. That's not my experience. I used to catch a 0926 train from Oakleigh Park which was frequently a few minutes late. There are validators on the platform and as long as I touched in at 0927 or later I would pay an off-peak fare. Yep, there's a leeway of I think 3 minutes in favour of the punter - so an 0927 touch-in should get you an off-peak fare. That train has now been re-timed and is scheduled to depart at 0925 which it usually does IME so I've ended up paying more. |

Wed, 10 Sep 2014, Paul Corfield remarked: I'm much less informed about the CPC stuff. I understand the issue of requiring PIN validation after so many "wave and pay" ones. I thought TfL had negotiated a way round this but again I can't point to anything in detail. Building on my posting from yesterday, I think we know that TfL CPC transactions are all "zero pence", so that would mean the CPC's internal "money spent since the last PIN transaction" counter won't be incrementing each time. All we'd need then is for, either built in by default, or as a special TfL feature, for the "number of waves" counter not to increment either when it sees a zero-value transaction or a TfL transaction. Perhaps such functionality would be inherent in TfL's readers. Of course, the most recent conventional transaction might have been the one which tripped the counters into the state of "ask for a PIN next time", but that can't be done at a TfL gate so postponing it for the next conventional transaction must be inherent in the design. -- Roland Perry |

I just got an Epsom + Z1-6 Travelcard on my Southern Key card. It seems to operate gates as fast as Oyster, and the journey history shows up on the web page within half an hour, rather than next day for Oyster. I've travelled around with it quite a bit in the last few days. The only problem I've had is the gateline at St Pancras Low Level not recognising it. |

Oh well Govia can get cracking with fixing that when they take over at 0200 on Sunday! it's rather odd that a Zone 1 gateline should not recognise a valid Travelcard product. I wonder if it was down to an ITSO card not being recognised in which it's possibly hardware or software or both. Could be something to do with the multiple domestic gate-lines within the complex (unless some are combined there are eight: SPILL, MML, Hi-Speed, East Coast, FCC [rip], Northern, Western and Classic tube halls). Perhaps they haven't properly fettled all of them? -- Roland Perry |

The High Speed gateline doesn't have any card readers installed, and I'm not sure whether the ITSO only EMT gateline would be considered to be in a Travelcard zone. |

Have you tried it on a TfL bus or Tramlink reader? -- Mike D |

TfL buses work fine. The ETM flashes up ITSO card. I haven't tried Tramlink yet.
