I'm a Londoner, and think Oyster is a fantastic system that I greatly

Is the in-boundary ODTC likely to survive long, now that Oyster is available
on National Rail throughout the zones? Out-boundary ODTCs will presumably
have to continue, as it is impossible to touch in an Oyster while you are on
a train entering the zones.

It would be nice if TPTB took being able to touch into consideration,
but they haven't till now. *If out-boundary ODTCs continue it will be
down to legislation, not consideration of the punters.

The outboundary Day Travelcard will of course continue to exist - the
TOCs sell a ton of them.
