As part of this update, new users will not be able to sign-up for pay-as-you-go accounts from 12:00 on Tuesday 17 February until 17:00 on Tuesday 24 February.
Existing pay-as-you-go customers will be able to access their accounts as normal until 22:00 on Monday 23 February, when the update takes place. It is expected that pay-as-you-go accounts will be available again at 17:00 on Tuesday 24 February.
A bit of a pain, if going to work on Tuesday morning using PAYG.
More of a pain as multiple usage of the same payment card to the same retailer often flags as fraudulent usage.

Immediately after the update, you will only be able to buy one journey per transaction. This can be a single or return journey, or a return journey made up of two single tickets.
If you need tickets for multiple journeys, please complete them as separate purchases.
We are working hard to restore multiple-journey bookings as soon as possible.
