But with OEPs rapidly becoming available on automatic ticket
machines across London, it would probably be necessary to
establish that the ticket machine was broken and there was no
other one available nearby.


Yes but as stated elsewhere on the thread there are a number of
stations and operators who don't have theOysterpads on the
machines - National Express doesn't have them at Forest Gate or
Stratford; Barking (which operator?) didn't have them before
Christmas.


In adddition, as Rupert says below, Southeastern certainly don't
have an OEP option on the machines which have now been enabled for
Oyster.


Neither do First Capital Connect, London Midland or London Underground
(on their ex-Silverlink machines)


And neither do London Overground.


However Southern machines do. (I think these seem to be the only
National Rail machines enabled so far)


I thought this was only promised for January 13th?

13th January is the date from which the new National Rail validators /
gatelines can be used to pick up Travelcards/PAYG credit purchased
online or by telephone. It doesn't seem to relate to upgrading self-
service machines.
