Point being, if Crossrail's going to Reading, then TfL will take Oyster

accept Oyster PAYG to/from Reading. (Apart from anything else I'd be
pretty sure that DfT Rail would make this a franchise commitment.)

I wonder if its a good idea for crossrail to go as far out as it will. The
longer a line is the less reliable it becomes as there are more opportunities
for failure - look at thameslink. Is crossrail being built to take the pressure
off the central line or is it meant to be simply an east-west thameslink
service?
