- Guest – “Do I have to tap my contactless card when I change at mile end”
Admin – “No. You won't pass through any barriers when changing trains so you don't have to. (If you did happen to tap it down at mile end then that would be considered the end of your journey. You would then have to re-enter the barrier again and start a new journey,)”
