'Telephone Tax' to be investigated by the NAO

11/6/2013

Our news release covers the background to this issue, the result that must surely be obtained and the consequences of retention.

Given the effect of a previous NAO investigation on HMRC, and now after Ofcom announcements, we are confident that the “Telephone Tax” will be clearly seen for what it is

TfL has recently done the right thing.

It introduced the number 0343 222 1234 which has certainly been promoted for Oyster enquiries. When I tried it it answered the same as 0843 222 1234 so I suspect that the 0343 number can be used for the same types of TfL enquiries that the 0843 number can (or was for).
