Are you saying that PAYG is not valid on Southern between these

See foot of page at:

Oyster PAYG is not valid from Watford Junction, full stop, according
to this. Where does it say different?

The question was about Harrow & Wealdstone to Wembley Central. That page
asserts that Oyster is accepted on Silverlink between Harrow & Wealdstone
and Euston (presumably including Silverlink County services) except at
Kilburn High Road and South Hampstead. Admittedly the page is silent about
Southern trains between H&W and Wembley Central, but the average passenger
isn't too clued up about which TOC operates which train, and a passenger who
had touched in at H&W, intending to travel to Wembley Central, and who then
found that there was a disruption on the DC line, but a Southern train which
would call at Wembley Central was just pulling in would expect to be allowed
to travel on it and touch out at Wembley.

If you buy an Underground ticket to Zone 1 at Ealing Broadway it
doesn't mean you can hop on an FGW service if your tube train's
cancelled. Why shouldn't the same apply here?

Besides, most train announcements include the name of the operator, so
all they have to do is listen to them.
