A new term in passengers’ life is “Card Clash”.  An announcement first heard at Bromley South Station: “avoid keeping Oyster Cards and contact-less payment cards in contact with each other to avoid card clash”.

The number of times I have now heard this announcement implies that double charging your Oyster Card and your bank account might be becoming major problem.

There’s more about it on the TFL website.  Refunds can be claimed by contacting the TFL Customer Services team on 0343 222 1234
