Travellers beware at London City Airport (or other airports) when you withdraw cash from Travelex ATMs. I drew 200 GPB, the machine gave me a receipt but no money came out! The ATM then shut down. I went to the nearby counter and was given a form with a case number that I had to give to my bank if the amount was deducted from my balance (sure it was). Now my bank is trying to get the money back, but it will take at least a week and will likely cost me 50 GBP!! I get the feeling that I am being ripped off here. Never again will I use their ATMs or service. Travellers beware, especially if you intend drawing large amounts. You could find yourself without any resources very quickly.
