What does OEP stand for?

Oh good, glad I'm not the only one.

Same here.

I had assumed Oyster Extension Permit but ready to be educated.

I assumed this after a quick google.

What's one of them? (I don't live in London these days).

AIUI, basically, if you want to use pre-pay to travel beyond your
travelcard validity, as you can freely do on TfL trains, but you want to
do it on NR trains, you need to get a special permit loaded onto your
Oyster beforehand. It's free, but you need to find an Oyster outlet to do
it. If you don't have one, then when you try to touch out, NR grippers
will PF you to death.
