I've seen a notice today that says that PAYG is valid Ealing Broadway -

I wonder how the rules would apply to a person who used PAYG to board
at one end of the line intending to travel to the other but then for
some sensible and unforseeable reason (received a message their
appointment was cancelled, felt sick, was frightened by hooligans on
board, etc) changed their mind and got off earlier?

They'd automatically be charged the £4 'penalty' fare for an
uncompleted journey if they only touched-in and didn't touch-out (or
likewise didn't touch-in and only touched-out).

However the plan is for standalone Oyster readers to be installed at
the intermediate stations so Oyster PAYG could be used to start or
finish a journey at any station on the line.

Is that likely to happen between Seven Sisters and Liverpool (and
other similar arrangements)?
