Default Oyster to Ebbsfleet?




Given each TOC will have their own HOPS and it will need to talk to


Tfl's systems and there will need to be data exchange, sharing,


revenue settlement etc I can see why there may be complications.




Again, I don't know what's so different about revenue settlement at the

point of use of a Travelcard (rather than when it's sold). When it's

being used all that needs to be done is validate that it's "in Zone".



Or are you saying that unbeknown to the passengers they are counting how

much the Travelcard is actually (rather than potentially) used on which

routes, and divvying up the revenue retrospectively?



Someone sent me this link




http://issuu.com/abelliogroup/docs/o...july___for_int




That's got one of the worst user-interfaces I've ever seen (not your

fault, obviously).



- take a look at page 5 to get a tiny glimpse of what is being planned


by Abellio Greater Anglia for SEFT / ITSO.




I expect I'm more likely to be using a TSGN ITSO card (for my travel to

London); it'll be interesting to see if those interoperate well with

ITSO gates at places like Cambridge which are operated by GA.





Southern are now advertising that Travelcards are now available on The Key.

"New key smartcard tickets available

Travelling into and around London? Now available on the key smartcard are weekly, monthly and annual season tickets inclusive of a travelcard, which will allow you to use trains, buses, trams and London Underground.

Although the FAQ still says:

from summer 2014, you will be able to load a Travelcard onto the
key for use on National Rail, London Underground, DLR and buses

Seems to be a rather low-key [sorry] soft launch of the Travelcard
option.
