The Oyster system on London's public transport network has suffered a fault, rendering the electronic cards inoperable for about four hours.On a similar note... the BT aggregator has been in a coma now... for 16 hours.
A fault lasting from about 0530 BST to 0930 BST on Saturday meant card readers did not work and some passengers could be charged a maximum fare by mistake.

UPDATE: Sun. Jul 13 - 14:45 - BT is back
Just heard from world traveller and BT admin Stephen Taylor... there was some sort of kink in the code on the Blogging Tories aggregator.
All fixed up now.
