We could give you a long winded, hand holding response, however if you search you see these questions come up more often than NLYUK's knickers so for brevity and as our time is just as valuable as yours we say ask your accountant as that is what you pay them for.
If you have already asked your accountant and they are giving you the wrong information we can help, if you have already asked your accountant but they didn't give you the answer you wanted we can help (to a degree)

I've asked a bunch of stuff from fellow contractors, including the kind of question above. I'll always get advice from my accountant in the end to verify, though know harm in asking online first, right?

Who do you think would be best to speak to first? It's likely when speaking to your accountant they will ask the relevant information first and probably educate on other elements of the question you are asking as well. We just get drip fed an attempt an answer based on that.

I asked my accountant the same question and he said it would be fine as the expense was clearly identifiable. I think you can also register an a card with TfL and get a journey history which would support any claim.

You can register your debit card on the Oyster website and set your account up so they email you a CSV/pdf every month with your journeys.
I actually used the journey email when one client disputed the days I had worked.

Bank statements are fine as proof of expenses as long as it's identifiable what you've paid for. In the case of travel it should be.
