Default Oyster on National Rail - Variable Minimum Journey Times

Hi folks,

As has been reported in the past, the extension of Oyster PAYG to
National Rail will see an end to the current fixed maximum journey time
of 2.5 hours for certain journeys. Instead, a *variable* maximum will be
applied when you touch out, based on the zones travelled through.

The latest list of stations affected by this has now appeared, and reads
as follows:

Acton Town Hammersmith (D&P) Southall (NR)
Amersham Hanger Lane Sudbury & Harrow Rd (NR)
Bank / Monument Hayes & Harlington (NR) Sudbury Hill
Barking Kenton Sudbury Hill Harrow (NR)
Bond Street Liverpool St (LU & NR) Upminster
Camden Road (LO) Mile End Victoria
Camden Town Northwick Park West Drayton (NR)
Canary Wharf (LU & DLR) Paddington (LU & NR) West Ham
Canning Town Park Royal West Hampstead (LU & NR)
Earl's Court Poplar (DLR) Westminster
Euston (LU & NR) Rayners Lane White City
Greenford Royal Victoria (DLR) Wimbledon
Gunnersbury Shepherd's Bush (Cen) Wood Lane
Hammersmith (C&H) Shepherd's Bush (NR) Woolwich Arsenal (DLR)

Note, however, that the definition of the variable maximums isn't given.

Cheers,

Barry
