Card clash is not news. Has been discussed in the past on utl (in
particular I recall a particularly tabloid-esque subject line from Mr
Perry).

TfL has been publicising the risk in anticipation of contactless payment
card acceptance going live across all modes (currently only available on
buses - though there's a system wide trial), however card clash has been
a possibility from the start what with people having other RFID type
cards (commonly building access cards) in their wallet / purse / pocket.

The pilot programme only covers Underground, Overground, DLR and NR
within the Oyster catchment area.


?

I didn't suggest otherwise - but the non-pilot programme will only cover
that as well.
