If you no longer use your Swift account and would like us to delete your information, visit the contact us page.
We want to inform you about upcoming changes to your Swift account and encourage you to take action early.
If you have a Swift card or pass, you can top up, buy, and collect tickets online or in the TfWM app before Wednesday, 13 May 2026.
Here is what you need to know.
What is changing?
We’re upgrading the system you use to buy tickets and manage your Swift account. These improvements will bring you:
- A new TfWM app, available soon
- A simpler, faster way to manage your account
- Better security and reliability
These changes came from customer feedback. Addressing past issues and ensuring better service now and in the future.
When is this happening?
Your Swift account will be unavailable from Wednesday, 13 May, and will be back online from Sunday, 17 May.
Please note that while the work is taking place,
- You will not be able to sign in to your Swift account.
- You will not be able to make purchases on the website or the TfWM app.
- However, you can still make purchases using Payzone and Ticket Machines (Swift and Metro Machines) during this time.
What do I need to do now?
- To ensure you can travel while your account is unavailable, please take these steps before Wednesday, 13 May.
1. Renew and check your season ticket. Top up your Pay-As-You-Go card or Swift Go account with enough credit for up to 10 days of travel.
2. Collect products you have purchased.
