Default Oyster PAYG and weekend engineering work

This Saturday there is engineering work which means the the West
Ruislip - Marylebone services are diverted to Paddington. Currently
Oyster PAYG is valid on the Marylebone route, but not into Paddington
(this being on the list for spring 2008). Does anyone know if
provision has made for people touching in at West Ruislip and then not
being able to touch out at Paddington during the diversion? Will the
be posters saying that PAYG is not available or will people have to
phone up about unresolved journeys.


Well, having gone for a ride today. No sign of any posters about PAYG
being valid or not on the Paddington trains, but the guard just
glanced at my Oyster and said OK (although I do have a Zone 1-5
travelcard on it and so the PAYG couldn't really be checked). Touching
out at West Ruislip bought up an 'Entry' on the validator and I'll
have to see what the records say has been charged in a day or two.
