I talked directly to SWT and TFL and the mayors office today and both
TFL and the mayors office say Oyster will be valid. SWT are adamant
they will be refusing them except on the advertised routes and said
they were expecting numerous complaints but that the agreement was as
described in newsrail express and Southeastern agree. I'm waiting for
SWT to try to penalty fare someone for using Oyster as per the
incorrect National Rail and TFL instructions!!!


I got myself and bike from Vauxhall to my mother's in Putney tonight using
my Oyster card. At both barriers I got "Seek Assistance" from it so they
just shrugged and let me through for free.
