Hi from a long time lurker,
I have just noticed oyster card validators have been recently installed at Crayford. Does anyone know when Oyster Pay as you Go will be usable in the Metro area?

From the FAQ section of the SET website. RT ------- www.southeasternrailway.co.uk/faq.php?s=oyster&c=&page=0&q=90#answered1. Do you accept Oyster cards on your network?We do already accept season tickets on Oyster on our network ( within the valid zones) and while we do not yet accept Oyster Pre-Pay, Southeastern announced its commitment to work with Transport for London (TfL) to introduce Oyster Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) on Southeastern within two years. The implementation of PAYG will require significant investment and Southeastern is working with TfL on issues such as the need for additional validators at stations; the ability to sell and top-up Oyster; and the possibility of installing automatic ticket gates at some stations. There are still a number of issues to resolve but we hope to implement Oyster PAYG on Southeastern in 2009. Oyster PAYG will not be cheaper than our usual rail fares. |
