As I was there today, and the new barriers started operating this
week, I was wondering if PAYG is switched on at New Cross Gate?

Given that it's technically an LU station for now, and will be on the
ELL where PAYG will be accepted, I was wondering if they would have
set it up already, or will reprogram it later?

Unlike the standalone pads at other NR stations that seem to be
working, but may have been uncovered by mistake, these ones have to be
used in order to get through.

Then there's the question of where you could actually go if it
registered the start of a PAYG journey ... The ELL closure and
constant DLR work have left the south east without a PAYG route a lot
of the time, and it would be good if, at the same time as getting rid
of the replacement buses, a deal was done to allow PAYG via London
Bridge from NXG and NX (and Lewisham and Greenwich when DLR is
closed).
