I tried a number of gates and still got this message, so I ended up having to use a contactless debit card. Does anyone know why this would have happened? Do you need more than ??13 on the card to get through the gate at Gatwick? https://tfl.gov.uk/campaign/rail-tra...on-this-page-3 "Travelling to London from Gatwick Airport" seems that peak time, the answer is yes Given that you've got auto-topup enabled surely it should Just Work and do an auto-topup if you've not got enough on the card! -- David Cantrell | Minister for Arbitrary Justice comparative and superlative explained: Huhn worse, worser, worsest, worsted, wasted |

When I had an Oyster with auto top-up it acted only when the balance was below £10. -- Robin reply-to address is (intended to be) valid |
