    TAP2GO again

    I travelled WBY to KNG via WIM using TAP2GO with a SNR loaded. SWR charged me a travel card cost of £19.30, I think it should be £10.90 or even £7.65 I touched in at WBY and out at KNG and again touched in at KNG and out at WBY. The gateline at KNG opened for exit and re-entry An off peak...

    TAP2GO - Some readers not working at WBY

    SWR updated their app recently, and said I had to create a new password and re enrol any payment cards that I did back in March.
