Perhaps the point is simply that nothing about the actual fares or validity
will change, so that's all that needs announcing?

But it will change, that's the point. From Sunday you WILL be able to
use Oyster to/from Watford junction. Currently (I think) you can use
it between WJ and H&W - could be Hatch End - and I think you CAN'T use
it at some of the intermediate stops.

So people at WJ are going to see a difference. At the moment, when I
arrive at WJ in the morning I have only one way to get through the
barriers (my Gold Card), on Monday I will have two ways.

Will return tickets still be available for things like WJ-Hatch End?
My partner does this regularly - IIRC the return costs 10p more than
the single - or will it be singles only - in which case she might as
well use an oyster card.
