Conflict of Oyster Cards

Recently I obtained a Hillingdon Community Services card which doubles as a Library user's card. And put it into the same card wallet as my Oyster card - in which I also keep my bank card. Suddently my Oyster card stopped working on trains and buses, and even the Heathrow Connect portable validators wouldn't recognise it - to considerable embarrasment. The culprit was the Hillingdon Community Services card - which seems to use the same technology as Oyster and was causing a confict. An irritation 'cos now I have to keep them in separated. CJB. A former colleague had similar trouble with his Oyster card and his season ticket for a football club - Fulham, IIRC. I think this problem's only going to become more prevalent over the next few years. |

My work barriers can cope fine with them together, but TFL barriers can't and I have to separate them. Is my work too lenient or is TFL too strict? |

Paraphrasing my comment on an earlier post, Oyster is too simple. |
