Default Chaos likely when they close ticket windows at King's Cross St. Pancras

SWT and London Midland have recently withdrawn Oyster at their ticket
windows, so they can't value any commission that much.


Possibly confirmation that Oyster is going to become much more niche -
only really for those of limited means, tourists and children, as
everyone else will use contactless instead.


What about commuters in London? Will they all migrate their in-boundary
Travelcards to ITSO, or is there a plan to link them to a contactless
card, and have it work throughout the Travelcard-valid estate?
