Default Oysters on Overground ...

They all promised a "positive response" to the Mayor's offer of free
equipment installation a year or two ago, with details to be worked
out later in time for a January 2009 rollout. This hasn't happened, as
far as I know.

Of the 10 London operators:
c2c: All services
Chiltern: All services
London Overground: All services
London Midland: All services
National Express East Anglia: All trains south of the Victoria Line
interchanges, no word on future expansion
First Great Western: All services from September, possibly as penance
for being rubbish
First Capital Connect: Central area services only, no word on future
expansion
Southern: Watford to Clapham Junction only, no word beyond that
Southeastern: None, though they do mention the January 2009 date on
their website
South West Trains: Franchise agreement alleged to require a full
rollout in January 2009, though we'll see. Currently nothing.

(Heathrow Connect is sort of an FGW service)
