Excellent news.

South of the river, I've seen new installations of Oyster readers at
Brockley and East Dulwich stations (the one at ED was also noted by
someone else here as well). I'm not 100% up to date on developments
but I presume that the Southern Metro network is gearing up for Oyster
acceptance - I understand that the new South Central franchise will
contain a commitment to smart card ticketing - presumably with a
specific commitment to Oyster, as opposed to merely ITSO?.



Oystear readers have appeared at my local stations: Norwood Junction &
Selhurst. They are not in se yet though. No evidence of the ticket
offices being able to issue Oyster tickets yet though.
