Contactless charging less than OysterMarch 08, 2015

I’ve recently had several queries where people were charged less than they expected using a CPC, or even less than they were charged making the same journeys with Oyster at a different time. The reason is the different way that capping is calculated when using CPCs. There’s a new page which tries to explain the detail. It’s quite complex in places, so I welcome questions and comments.

Oyster at LM ticket officesMarch 04, 2015

It’s been brought to my attention that London Midland are to cease allowing Oyster transactions at their ticket offices at both Euston and Watford Junction from April this year. This is yet another kick in the teeth by TOCs following similar actions by Southeastern and South West Trains in recent years.
