Default 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.


How does the gate know to apply a discount, and where the journey is
going to end?

The bus fare was £1.35 two years ago and I don't think any CPC
functionality was live back then. I do recall Tom Edwards (BBC London)
doing a feature on CPC use many months on the buses where you see a
card being touched in on a NB4L.


It could of course just be a mock-up.
