I’ve used contactless payments on the tube for weeks now without any problem, however this morning something weird happened.
I tried to touch in at the Waterloo Jubilee line entrance and the gate message was:
"Seek Assistance
80
go to tfl.gov.uk"
I tried a couple of times and it continued to fail. I tried another gate and the same thing happened.
In the end I had to use my HSBC contactless card (yuck! ).
