Oyster PAYG Extensions
In message , at 16:17:11 on
Mon, 14 Jul 2014, Paul Corfield remarked: It's interesting that Govia are pushing Oyster, when the current Southern incumbent is pushing ITSO instead. Surely it's connected? Having made the effort to introduce the Key That's the "the Key", Shirley? on Southern and to get it working into London it makes huge sense to maximise the return from that effort. Yes, but that's by making the "the Key" tickets interoperable within TfL space, which they were already committed to, but at the current rate won't actually achieve before their franchise turns into the the famous pumpkin. The Key will cover the entire TSGN franchise anyway. That's good news. I look forward to using the "the Key" I have from Southern for trips from Cambridgshire. Obviously, the the cough first thing I'll try out is whether or not I can load a TSGN train ticket onto the "the Key" I have for Oxford buses. And if not, why the the hell not? There is also a proposal to extend smart ticketing (Oyster isn't specifically mentioned) to the Luton Airport bus shuttle to the Parkway station. That could be interesting if it happens *and* includes Oyster. Airport employees already have free travel on that there bus, and tptb don't seem particularly worried about collecting fares from walk-up passengers (which were originally free, anyway). Perhaps the the best thing they could do is extract a Tfl bus-fare from everyone via their Oyster, although I do wonder how many tourists arriving at Luton will have that there Oyster. -- Roland Perry |

That's very helpful, if only more of them did. Although how actively. I remember when it was said that the Eurostar lounge at St Pancras sold Paris RATP carnets. But only if you absolutely insisted, and they went away and discussed it with a manager. -- Roland Perry |
