All I know is that TfL stated that roll out would be 6 weeks after
the trial ends assuming no serious issues were found in the trial.

Pilot seemingly started on 25 April, so Roland can get excited about
the 6th June.


That'd be six weeks after the trial *started* though.


Yes, of course.

So, 18 July (approx) is the magic date.


Which implies you know that the trial ends the first week of June. Is
that published somewhere?

I'd imagine TfL are keen to have contactless on all modes up and
running by 6 July, which is when London buses 'go cashless'.


So that would imply a trial ending now. Which brings me back to the
original question: why are they asking me if I want to join the trial,
if it's ending?
