Soon they'll be forced to be interested - once the Railways Bill

comes
into effect, TfL will have much more influence over railways within
London, particularly in the fares department - the Bill makes strong
allusions to the rollout of Oyster across the whole GLA area, and

makes
a bit of a noise about fares integration too.


Dave, you are an eternal fount of knowledge. That is very interesting
indeed - any idea of the timetable for the Bill?
