[Jack O'Neill]

Wonder would a complaint to Comreg be of any use! Phone users are being overcharged by the lack of this facility.

Rail users hit with extra charges due to Leap system bug

By Aideen Sheehan

Wednesday August 08 2012

COMMUTERS using Dublin's new integrated Leap ticket have been hit by extra charges after glitches at a number of DART stations.

http://www.independent.ie/national-n...g-3194310.html

This bug appeared after LEAP started, but effects both Leap and Irish Rail smartcards

[karlr42]

Is this the "NOT_FOUND" error that breaks the purple reader poles(well aware of this problem unfortunately) or something else?

[Mark Gleeson]

Its the NOT_FOUND 409 >> issue

[karlr42]

Cool, great to get some publicity on it.

Are we any closer to having Ramblers on the Leap?

We would like to invite you to sign up for our Leap Card Auto Top-Up trial.

Auto Top-Up is the easiest way to Top-Up your Leap Card. Auto Top-Up makes sure you never run out of Travel Credit by automatically topping up your Leap Card with funds from your bank account, whenever your Travel Credit balance falls below €10. You can choose to Auto Top-Up by €30.00, €40.00 or €50.00.

The trial is open to the first 200 people who choose to sign-up at www.leapcard.ie between 12 noon and 9pm on Wednesday 8th May.

To take part in the trial, just follow these steps;

1. Register your Leap Card (If you've already registered skip this step);

2. Sign in to your online account between the following times on Wednesday 8th May 2013 12:00 to 21:00

3. Click “Manage Auto Top-Up” which will be under the “My Leap Cards” tab while the sign-up period is open;

4. Fill in the online form;

§ Select the amount you wish to Auto Top-Up by;

§ Provide your bank account details;

Your bank account must be a Republic of Ireland account where only one signatory is required, and the bank account must accept Direct Debit.

5. After three days you will be able to activate Auto Top-Up by simply using your card as normal on any Dublin Bus or Luas service. Please note, for the trial you will not be able to activate Auto Top-Up on DART or Commuter Rail services.

6. Once activated, your Leap Card will then Top-Up automatically when you travel on Dublin Bus, Luas, DART and Commuter Rail services.

Important Notes:

You will need to ensure you have sufficient funds in your bank account at all times. If you receive an Auto Top-Up but the direct debit fails to collect the funds from your bank account, your Leap Card will automatically be blocked.

After you apply you will have up to 21 days to activate the Auto Top-Up facility on your Leap Card. If you do not activate within this time your Leap Card may need to be replaced if you wish to use Auto Top-Up.



Yours sincerely
