Aligning Contactless Journey charges by payment method
We are updating the way in which we display charges in the Contactless Journeys feature in apps and on websites.

Increasing the security of websites
To help protect the privacy and security of operators and customers we are implementing security measures that will mean it is no longer possible to load operator websites as part of another webpage.
