"The DfT recently specified that TfL's zonal fares must be rolled out to
all rail services within London by 2007, with a phased approach being
taken to achieve this with an individual train company at a time."

And this is taken from tfl's latest board meeting minutes last month:

TfL's proposal to further integrate Oyster pre-pay on the National
Rail Network has been subject to continuing negotiations with Train
Operating Companies (TOC's) and DfT. The work is not on schedule and
implementation in 2007 is no longer achievable.

Looks like we could be in for a long wait.

If it's going to be introduced one TOC at a time, as mentioned above,
any idea which TOCs might be first, and when we might see it happen?
Do all TOCs have to have agreed together to accept pre-pay before it
can be rolled out on any of them?
