Surely it's worth having [Stansted] on Oyster, whoever runs the

Hands up everyone who chooses which airport to fly from based on what
species of train ticket you'll use to get there.

So that's approximately no-one.

As I'm sure you know, I meant more people would choose to travel to
the airport by train, not that more people would choose that airport.


No, I didn't know. It looked to me as if you were saying that they'd
choose Stansted over Heathrow (the only airport you can currently get to
on Oyster) if you could use Oyster to get to Stansted.
