I can confirm Oyster readers are installed (And covered) at BHK and ENF

BHK has 1 or 2 in the booking office, 2 on the up road gate access and 2 on
the down road side access. The new (non oyster) ticket machine has also been
installed on the up road platform.

ENF has 4 (That I've seen) between the 'gates' and the platform - which will
make revenue protection more fun people will need to pass beyond the 'gates'
to swipe in!

I'm also told that SLV has readers installed at the bottom of the steps, and
SBU has at least 2 inside the ticket office.

No sign of TIS+ though in the booking offices and of the people I've spoken
to they know there getting anther machine, but don't know much more than
that.

Wonderfully cryptic.
Let me see if http://ojp.nationalrail.co.uk/en/pj/tt will translate.
BHK Bush Hill Park
ENF Enfield Town
SBU Southbury
SLV Silver Street
TIS Tisbury

As TIS is only accessible from WAT, I infer that is another TLA.

I find it REALLY good that pay as you go is being extended to TOC
stations. I was recently caught out. I bought a travelcard to cover a
journey out to Hatton Cross and back from West Drayton. It makes some
sense of the replacement of an LU gateline (and ticket hall) at
Paddington (Hammersmith & City) with a National Rail gateline.

I look forward to PAYG on WAT to RMD and WIM which should happen soon
given the readers at WAT where I recently saw off-peak chaos as several
RCI staff importuned ill-ticketed customers. The alternative of District
service is seriously less comfortable.

Is the Paddington departure board available online in real time?
On another trip, we had 4 minutes to run from Paddington (Circle and
District) to platform 13 which is gatelessly accessibly from the H&C.

That gateline give me nothing but problems (Gold Card)

Yes they do things like that from time to time. Its even better when they
either close or use the underground access for the same thing people
everywhere!

It will be funny when the new gates are all in and on as they will have to
pass any Z1 ticket. People will figure out they can still avoid paying a
full ticket (presuming the requirment to check tickets en-route is dropped,
or at least severley cut back)

Yes, via the nationalrail website, WAP site or train tracker, although I
don't think any of them give a platform indication.

The website does for some stations, including Paddington, and it isn't
embargoed until the train is ready like the physical departure boards
are.

They are going to pass London Terminals tickets anyway, never mind zone 1,
so you can get to Charing Cross, according to the latest SWT magazine
article...
