You can have 2 RFID cards in a single wallet by putting a credit card-sized piece of foil between them. You then turn your wallet to present the appropriate card to the reader.

Someone remind me - arn't we being told RFID is supposed to make life easier?

Requiring multiple wallets or wallets with seperate sections or ****ing around
with bloody tin foil and then having to remember which way up to put the wallet
on the reader for gods sake wouldn't be my definition of "easier".

The indications are that this will stop working quite soon (unless your
wallet is capable of separating them sufficiently when you touch-in).

Or perhaps your credit card isn't yet Paywave enabled - wait until it
gets replaced.

For a paper ticket.

The machines are quite happy to dish out a one day paper travelcard. For now.
Though if you want to buy an oyster card you need to queue for the bloke in
the ticket office. I wonder if anyone in TfL has noticed the irony?

At major terminus stations the machines often have substantial queues
too.

The last time I bought an Oyster card, I did it from a ticket machine.
It seemed a very useful feature not shared by many other cities. My
reading of http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tickets/14433.aspx is that this isn't
possible any more.

"Ticket machines: Top up your Oyster card with any amount of credit,
add season tickets or buy paper tickets."

So, is it possible?

Which I don't need, I have a Pass already.

Oh well in that case I'll stop carrying the credit card when it expires,
cash is a lot easier you can carry in a back pocket and sit on it and
also in the same wallet as a pass

Then you are right, there is no saving from replacing a paper ticket with an
RFID one

but for those of us who have to pay (as we go) for our travel, there is
