The pilot started in December, and it doesn't seem like a "small pilot"
to me:

Unhelpfully, there's no date on that announcement (and yes, it does seem
to be a small pilot as someone is hand-checking whether the applicants
use their Oyster enough already).

But if we can *all* use contactless from "early 2014", then I look
forward to an announcement (undated or otherwise) letting us know from
when!

At least it's "early 2014", rather than "early Spring" which is
undoubtedly later.
