They already do, albeit with limited facilities for checking them.
Travelcards (weekly, monthly etc) only, no pre-pay.


Pre-pay IS available on selected NR routes.
See http://tube.tfl.gov.uk/content/tickets/fandtjan2004.pdf page 23.

Interestingly, there's a sign at Liverpool Street (spotted 14/01)
advising WAGN customers that Pre-Pay is not available from there to
Tottenham Hale.

I can only assume that there are no readers at NR platfrom level, or
that they are faulty.


Cheers,

Jason.
