I remain absolutely committed to the introduction of Oyster Pay-As-You-Go from the current Oyster boundary to Gatwick Airport.

I am in continued discussions with the Mayor of London, and officials from the Department, TfL and the operator are working hard to make it a reality. I will be announcing the timetable for the implementation of these changes shortly.

Oyster Pay As You Go can be a real benefit to rail customers and we want to ensure that such benefits reach as many people as possible, which is why we included the commitment in the franchise.
