Argh!!!!

Oh for goodness sake. That is asking for complications at places like Farringdon. Why can't the railway get their act together about how contactless PAYG works.

They can't even spell "reference" correctly - the letter has "refernce" !

I understood Farringdon was set to continuation-exit to try and prevent accidentally touching out early (unless that’s only for Oyster? Although I’d expect contactless to eventually reconcile the same way)

Both of the AS letters have made me wince by suggesting someone should always tap when changing trains…

If you tap a continuation exit reader and encounter an RPI, bad things may occur. See this thread for a recent horror story: https://www.railforums.co.uk/thread...ty-fare-despite-tap-in-during-journey.305030/
