Recently my Freedom Pass has failed at some Oyster Readers (usually Underground ones)with an error 94.



The only thing that has changed is that I now have in my wallet a proximity debit card.



Would this cause problems?


In my experience even a first generation chip and pin card could interfere with any variant of an Oyster card being read. I always carried mine in a separate wallet and now use a third wallet for my ENCTS card.

It's nice to see how easy these contactless cards make our lives!

Don't ever make the mistake of thinking this is done for the passengers
benefit - just like Oyster its done entirely for TfLs benefit (a paper
travelcard was just as simple to use as an Oyster card but you didn't need a
5 quid deposit first). Soon they'll be able to suck money direct out of
peoples bank accounts and no doubt plenty of mugs are already lined up to
help them do it.
