Is the double click for Apple Pay removed with introduction of Express Mode on Apple Watch?

Since 1 October I can't double click the bottom button on Apple Watch to start Apple Pay. Express Mode works okay with London Underground, but not for other contactless payment devices. Is this expected?

To start, make sure you have the most current operating system on your devices. The article you were looking at is the resource for Express Transit specifically, but you should still be able to double click to verify on other purchases as well, as long as Apple Pay is an option.

I do have the latest iOS on my iPhone 12 and latest WatchOS on my series 6. Since 1 October if I double click the bottom button I get the list of Watch apps rather than my payment card appearing. So, it's doing exactly the same thing whether I single click or double click the button. Is there some config in either the iPhone or Watch I need to change? Or is this a defect?
