If your contactless card isn’t working on Transport for London (TfL)

If your contactless card didn’t work on TfL or the gate won’t open, it might be because:

  • You touched more than one card on the reader at the same time (or your card and an Oyster card) 
  • You have an unpaid TfL fare
  • You don’t have enough money in your account, or there’s a problem with your card.

You can call TfL on 0343 222 1234. Lines are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Charges apply.
