"Oyster ticketing on rail a step closer"
destination than a £1.50 Oyster fare would have got me from East Putney.
Zonal fares will be rolled out before Oyster, potentially next year
(according to previous DfT murmurings). However, having read the SWT
invitation to tender more carefully, Oyster PAYG wouldn't be introduced on
SWT until at least January 2009, when ticket gates are expected to be
installed at Waterloo.
That'll be fun in the morning rush

What would be logical is to move the LUL gate line so that interchange
via the underpass would not need passing through any gatelines, while
providing validators for PAYG.
