Oyster is already being extended to Shenfield as part of the new AGA
franchise. It's not on the map yet (stops at Harold Wood).

ISTR it WAS scheduled to start last month.

GA are probably engaging in a protracted negotiation with over
commercial terms (fares, revenue apportionment etc) with TfL - I'm just
thinking of the epic battle to finally get Oyster PAYG accepted across
NR in London (where it certainly wasn't TfL being the ones dragging
their feet).

I don't see why it's complicated, they already accept it as far as
Harold Wood.
