I've seen a notice today that says that PAYG is valid Ealing

But this isn't anything new, as Oyster PAYG has been valid
between Ealing Broadway and Greenford since January!

My first thought was that's it's been valid a lot longer than
that, via North Acton.

Maybe if there aren't any ticket checks or barriers on the FGW
trains and stations, it's a recognition that people are going to
go that way anyway.

There are occaisonal ticket checks on the overpass between
Underground / platform 4 at Ealing and plaforms 1,2 and 3 but no
permanent barriers. Don't know about Greenford.

That said I'm sure I saw someone getting pulled by one of the ticket
checks a couple of weeks a go because she was travelling on PAYG.
