On my last two cross-London journeys, my tickets have been rejected by the London Underground barriers. On both occasions (well actually all four occasions, as they were return trips!) I was let through at each end by the barrier attendant without problem. However, I am curious whether this is a common issue or just a random glitch with my tickets.
The Underground barriers in question were at Euston Square and Paddington (Hammersmith & City platforms). The rejection code in all cases was 13, which apparently means "Excess". The tickets worked fine at the National Rail barriers at Paddington and Reading.
Prior to the first of these two trips (at the end of July), I have never had any issues with using cross-London tickets at the Euston Square and Paddington Underground barriers.
