I’m grateful. As I said, back to the Picc. £8 isn’t enough for 20 minutes.
It’s only since they took our peak over-60 travel away that we’ve had to bother anyway. So the government has its dabs on that as well!No reply needed- seems it’s the correct fare via zone 1 since the government chiselled more money out of TfL. This was kept a bit quiet. Hayes & Harlington £5.10, Heathrow £13.30. And we though we’d found a shortcut wheeze. Ouch. Oh well, back to the Picc.
Alan mentions the virtual (I call it proxy) number given to a card on Apple Pay- the one that appears on statements. If the TfL system can’t see that they’re linked to the same account, perhaps this is enough to make them effectively separate accounts, but that does contradict the TfL advice. Perhaps TfL are trying to offer certainty to phone users.
My suggestion was that he use your credit card.
To me the advice is clear: you can’t use the card at the same time as the device with that particular card loaded onto it.
Mike the site owner, may know better, so maybe give him a chance to respond.“You can pay for someone else’s travel with your contactless card or device if they’re travelling with you. You need to pay for your own travel with a different card or device.”
I appear to be wrong about the time delay- your card/phone won’t be accepted again until you touch out.
IMO only the first of you will get through the gateline. The system will see only one card and a double touch-in, the second of which will be refused. You would have to wait a while to touch in with the card, possibly 2 minutes.
Can he not use a different card of yours?Ah, I see. It was a double- back from a cancellation at LB, but for which we wouldn’t have needed the tube.
When you start typing “London Bridge” into the fare finder LB LU pops up first so I didn’t even see the cheaper NR fare. Which is why you’re here. Thanks.
Oh, and 5 days on my OH’s fare hasn’t been billed yet. Now THAT would be a freebie.FYI the National Rail online return fare is only 10p more than the TfL fare finder. So that’s the way to do it ATM.
Still a lot of dough for those of us used to TfL fares. Or 60+ passes.True but what ARE new are the through trains and a TfL-issued concession that becomes invalid whilst aboard a TfL service.
Is there no way to avoid having to get off at WD? No way to buy an extension ticket in advance?
