Really? To be clear, are you saying that (as a resident of the
Southeastern railway wilderness in Zone 6) I will now not get Oyster
PAYG on my trains for a further 15 months beyond what had previously
been proposed?

Any further info on this delay? It's the first I've heard of it - not
that I'm anywhere near as good at keeping up with developments as lots
of others on u.t.l are!

(Or is the quote from you nothing to do with PAYG on Southeastern and
I'm leaping pessimistically to unintended conclusions?)

I'm racking my brain trying to recall where I read it. I wasn't
particularly surprised to see a revised date - it's almost a direct
extension of time given the protracted negotiation stage which is yet to
conclude.

No specific TOC or area was mentioned so you may be leaping to
unintended conclusions. However given that South Eastern seem to be one
of the most intransigent TOCs regarding Oyster and PAYG you may also be
correct :-(
