Crossrail transition

It's the payment methods which are Balkanised - currently in London
(if you ignore outboundary Travelcards bought with C&P) a war between
cash, Contactless Bank Cards, Oyster, and ITSO[1].

Even without the latter two, I have several Contactless Bank Cards,
and even TfL is minded to remind us to use the same one when touching
out as touching in. And then, when I'm trying to tot up the
expenditure, I've have to remember which card statements to rummage
through for the data.

[1] Where I would need two different ones depending of whether I
travelled Via Liverpool St or Kings Cross.

You can use a GN "The Key" card from Ely to King's Cross? I don't think so.

That's yet another failure in their implementation. But I could split
tickets, with a Travelcard season from say Royston held on a Southern
ITSO.

(GN won't let me have one of The theirs, because I've been signed up for
years with a Southern The Key. I suppose I could get the GN The Key if
used a The different The email address).
