Correction: The main issue is the government's refusal to allow the
train companies to participate in the Oyster scheme except to the
barest extent necessary (because it is not standards-compliant).

Everyone seems to have someone else to blame for the current mess!

If the government is vetoing implementing it, how do you explain the
requirements for the South West Trains franchise?

Things are moving now towards Oyster becoming standards-compliant, at
least I think that's why the line has changed.

Also, haven't SWT invested more on barriers than most TOCs?
