TfL have aspirations to introduce Oyster PAYG as far as High Wycombe,

Interesting. For me such a feature would avoid the curious hard-coded
route I'm sold the occasional times I take the train that way -
Central line "via S [or W] Ruislip" which can involve 50min wait in
the relevant Ruislip if the sales office has miscalculated arrival
times in the transfer station onto a Chiltern. PAYG would be an
improvement, and would be a welcome reversal of the TOCs' bad habits
of selling inflexible tickets for high prices.

Not sure letting Livingstone loose beyond is a good idea though...
