Interesting.

"Implementation and launch remains possible by March 2009" they say -
well don't hold your breath, there've been numerous false starts when
it comes to getting the agreement of the TOCs with regards to
accepting Oyster PAYG on rail routes in London, though it seems
they've finally come around to the inevitability of it (indeed a
number now accept PAYG on some routes).

If it were to be accepted on Heathrow Connect, it would be something
of a struggle to ensure that passengers understood it could not be
used on the faster Heathrow Express service!

But in terms of local journeys it would certainly make sense, as
Oyster PAYG can now be used on all FGW services within Greater London
apart from trains to Heathrow.
