Several train companies are suffering problems accepting card payments for tickets.
Among the operators who reported being affected by the issue on Tuesday morning were Greater Anglia, Northern and Southeastern.
Greater Anglia and Northern said the fault meant passengers could not make card payments on their apps or websites, while Southeastern warned that ticket-buying at stations was also affected.
💳 We are aware of an ongoing problem with making card payments at present, at stations and via online channels for ticketing. Teams are investigating currently and looking to fix as soon as possible. More details shortly.

A spokesman for Greater Anglia (GA) said: “There is an ongoing problem with the GA app and website regarding making card payments.
“This is currently being investigated and will be fixed as soon as possible.”
Northern said in a statement: “We are aware of an issue with our app/website whereby customers cannot complete their booking. This is being looked into and we hope to see a fix soon.
“In the meantime please use ticket-buying facilities at stations to purchase your tickets.”
Southeastern posted on Twitter: “We are aware of an ongoing problem with making card payments at present, at stations and via online channels for ticketing.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
