TfL's offer to the National Rail (NR) Train Operating Companies (TOCs) to
fund the £20 million cost of installing equipment to allow Oyster
Pay-as-you-go (PAYG, a.k.a. Pre-Pay) isn't open ended, and the deadline -
the 31st of January - is fast approaching. It would appear the Mayor is keen
to bounce the TOCs into signing up to the deal.

See this TfL press release:
http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/press-cent....asp?prID=1037


The full release on the Mayor's site is a tad more revealing and also
includes a wonderfully inaccurate statistic about gate throughput.


I can see how they came up with the numbers, but it certainly doesn't
apply to the newest gates (as at KXSP, Marylebone NR etc.)
