I go through Watford junction station most work days. They have
installed Oyster readers (up to the silverlink county platforms),
however they do not work yet. Looks like Oyster will be used as far as
Watford junction. I expect that the oyster cards will be only valid on
LO services not London Midland (the new TOC that takes over from
Silverlink and Central). This will cause lots of ticket inspectors to
rub their hands in glee.

Most people come to Watford on a travel card (Met, junction and town)
and wonder why their travel card/oyster doesn't work. It is horrid to
see someone rubbing their card on the barrier and the barrier guard
swooping down for the £20+ fine.

Yes, I'd spotted that and was asking myself the same question!

I've an idea we've talked round this a bit in various poster's comments.
Perhaps it'll change in January with the next routine NR fares changes, and
so might the northern bit of the DC lines. It would make sense if 'LO' is
considered (as on NR's site) one of the TOCs and changes will affect NR
fares from stations outside the London fare zones (the ones TfL call the TfL
fare zones)...
