Finsbury Park (WAGN), Wimbledon, Queens Park, Barking, Walthamstow
Central, Upminster should all fall within the scope of NR stations that
will be able to retail Oystercards.


Finsbury Park has two separate ticket offices - one run by WAGN & one
LUL. I doubt the WAGN ticket offices will sell Oystercards...


Yes I know it has. I also know that the WAGN office has to retail LUL
tickets as a joint station. It would be complete lunacy not to equip it
for Oystercard sales as it would overload the LUL office if it wasn't.
There would almost certainly be issues over commission and apportionment
as well if LUL opted to use technology to divert sales. There are
agreements about such things.
