According to the London ****e, there will be Oysters on Overground by
next May.

Whatever one might interpret that to mean, it's all Boris Johnson's
idea.


Given that virtually all TOCs had already agreed to, or been forced
into, this, Boris's only real claim to fame is mastering the art of
spin.


If they've been forced into it I wonder why he needs to hold a
conference before the start of Summer?

I'd really like to know just who is and who is not signed up to accept
Oyster. Anyone know the state of play?

I'd also like to know what the terms of each agreement is and whether
there is any consistency of treatment or whether the most "awkward" have
extracted a better deal. I look forward to the new "transparent" City
Hall revealing all.
