TfGM have announced plans for Manchester.
I wonder if Virgin will have problems with Euston - Manchester Piccadilly travellers thinking they can use contactless for the whole journey..?
Travellers will eventually be able to use contactless for the whole
journey. They might even introduce it from the very start to help
increase passenger volumes between the two points. Add a very small
premium to same-day travel using contactless. I'm guessing that
businesses would be happy to pay that.

Not without the limit on contactless card payments being a lot higher
than 20 quid.
