The Evening Standard are today reporting a bug with the Oyster card, but
they don't say what the bug is. Can anyone shed any light on this?

Of course, I don't know for certain that this is what the esteemed
Evening Standard is talking about but the majority of the problems I've
seen are due to people now realising that they're supposed to pay for
all the zones they've travelled in and are now getting hammered for
extensions across Zone 1


The BBC have slightly more information...

Commuters whose cards have been affected will see the words
"seek assistance" and the number "24" displayed in the
bottom left-hand corner of ticket barrier screens.
