Just a quick live update from this morning:

- Oyster pad not yet active on ticket machine at Bromley North (and
software not yet updated). Just as well I didn't need an OEP.

- Oyster reader by entrance had 'Out of use' sticker but gave me a green
light and 'Enter' anyway (with a season)

- New Waterloo East gateline at the top of the stairs to Waterloo Rd -
but main access to station still ungated!

- Touched out at new standalone readers on the Waterloo footbridge. Big
new overhead sign 'Card users touch here'.

So clearly not all parts of the network were quite ready for 2nd Jan...

Current nearest station:

The Southwark exit at Waterloo East now has a National Rail gateline
as well as the TfL gateline. There is a small area between the two
with TfL and Southeastern self service machines, creating a strange
"landside" area with no exit other than via a gateline. The
Southeasten machine can top up PAYG, but I couldn't see any provision
for OEPs.
