They all promised a "positive response" to the Mayor's offer of free
equipment installation a year or two ago, with details to be worked
out later in time for a January 2009 rollout. This hasn't happened, as
far as I know.

I've always wondered if the real stumbling block is how the 'back office'
fare allocation will work. For the 'south of the river' franchises, there
must be a huge number of journeys within the zonal areas which can easily
include two or three TOCs as well as LO, LU, Tramlink, DLR.

Presumably there is a revenue sharing mechanism in place already for
travelcards and travelcard seasons, all they have to do is produce one for
PAYG. Easy peasy - or pretty complex?

Going back to TfL's contribution - is it not just validators? Can't see them
paying for things like the Waterloo gating scheme, that must be down to SWT
& NR surely?
