Some stations clearly do. Some don't.

re-pay is valid on very few national rail routes; the list is available

I was going to Camden Road from Canning Town and because I wasn't sure
whether Camden Road had barriers or pre-pay, I bought a paper day-time
travelcard (doubly annoying as I'd just wasted £0.80 on my pre-pay to get a
bus to Canning Town in the first place).

Lo and behold, I could have used the barriers at Camden Road, and saved
myself that money. However, had I decided to go to eg West Hampstead on the
Silverlink instead, I could have faced difficulties.

Pre-pay is not available between Canning Town and Camden Road. They
Oyster readers at Camden Road are for people with a season ticket
on an Oyster card.

The whole thing is confusing, and it is potentially making people offenders
when they have no intention of being one.

I suspect that without mens rea, then they aren't one (and the confusion
perhaps gives a nice loophole for the rest).

Any idea when pre-pay will be adopted throughout all zonal NR stations and,

When Ken is King!

if not, any idea of a list of stations that *do* accept pre-pay?

See above.
