TfL’s unclickable Oysters from https://www.ianvisits.co.uk/

Another issue with TfL’s backend emails was brought up this week. It seems that the Oyster system isn’t using https:// (or http:) in the a href tags sent in the emails making them not work!

It’s a simple problem.

The HTML code that creates the website link in the email is written thus:

< a href=”oyster.tfl.gov.uk”>oyster.tfl.gov.uk< /a>

They’ve missed a small, but critical bit off. It should read thus:

< a href=”https://oyster.tfl.gov.uk”>oyster.tfl.gov.uk< /a>
