Point being, if Crossrail's going to Reading, then TfL will take

commitment.)


The missing factor in you rational assumptions is the DfT obsession that
Oyster was "not invented here". Look what they said to FCC when they
attempted to extend Oyster to Hertford North while allowing Greater Anglia
to extend Oyster to Hertford East. :-(


What was that?
I imagine you are thinking of one or more URLs or even a Google search.
