Just to add to this-the Southeastern machines at Bromley South have
now had their Oyster pads enabled. The machines allow top-up and
purchase of weekly seasons, but no setting of OEPs. Brilliant work.

South West Trains are proudly announcing at their stations (Putney
anyway) that none of their stations apart from Richmond and Wimbledon
are selling Oyster in any form.

And they explain exactly why in their web FAQs.

"Whilst Oyster PAYG will be accepted for travel across our services within
the London Zones, the top up facility will not be available at South West
Trains' stations, except Richmond and Wimbledon where we interface directly
with London Underground. This is as a result of the South West Trains
franchise being selected by the Government to become the first in the UK to
introduce ITSO smartcard technology which means our ticket machines are not
currently able to accept both ITSO and Oyster smartcards."

It is presumably down to the DfT to alter the Oyster system, as they said
they would in 2007.
