Oyster Card System Failure

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/7524754.stm 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. According to http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/7525894.stm The problem existed between 6am and 10am. Interestingly, I travelled on London Midland (Watford Junction to London Euston) using PAYG during this time. Both the touch in and touch out appeared to work correctly and the machine at touch out reported the correct fare. I didn't notice anyone having any problems at Watford Junction. And people seemed to be touching out normally at Euston judging by the beeps - although as that was platform 16-18 it's possible that things weren't actually working properly for everybody. Tim. |
