Just a quick live update from this morning:

From a short journey today:

Forest Gate - poster up telling us we can now use PAYG on national rail. No
Oyster pad has been added to the one ticket machine at the station (even
though it has a circle that is clearly intended for one) or at the ticket
office window and there were no posters or leaflets about Oyster either in
the ticket office or in the hallway down to the platforms. Absolutely
nothing whatsoever about OEPs.

(Oh and the station was closed last week for cable repairs so this is the
first operating day with PAYG.)

Stratford - continues to be chaotic because the TfL and National Express
delineation isn't always clear to Joe Public. The NX machines in the ticket
hall don't have Oyster pads so the queues for the TfL machines and window
will just get even longer. I looked hard but couldn't find any leaflet about
Oyster on National Rail on either the TfL or NX racks.

So far two stations, including one of the main ones in East London, and zero
information.
