Default Oyster PAYG on National Rail

However, as has been discussed already in other threads, the whole
system rather falls flat on its arse because OEPs are not readily
available from the majority of NR stations in London.


The obvious answer is a special lane on the ticket gates at the NR
stations marked "Touch in *and* collect OEP".

If course, it wouldn't matter if some people collected an OEP that they
didn't use (or would it... we should ask Alice, or at least the Mad
Hatter, about that).

And if the station doesn't have barriers to access the platforms, then
it shouldn't be in the Oyster scheme in the first place!!
