uninterested in Oyster, I can't see that happening any time soon.

Soon they'll be forced to be interested - once the Railways Bill comes
into effect, TfL will have much more influence over railways within
London, particularly in the fares department - the Bill makes strong
allusions to the rollout of Oyster across the whole GLA area, and makes
a bit of a noise about fares integration too.

Dave, you are an eternal fount of knowledge.

If only that could be said for my degree - then I might stand a chance
of passing my imminent exams...

That is very interesting
indeed - any idea of the timetable for the Bill?

It's been passed, in the rush to get legislation through before
Parliament stopped for the election. It will be enacted progressively
from June onwards, with the aim being that most of it will be in force
by the end of the year. I presume that particular timetable depends on
the outcome of the election...
