The DfT have launched a public consultation on expanding PAYG (as a form of payment) to more National Rail services. www.gov.uk/government/consultations/pay-as-you-go-on-railThere is a proposal for a vastly expanded South East PAYG area covering all of the franchises with expansion into Surrey, Berks, Beds, Kent, Essex, Herts, Sussex. Haven't read the whole document yet but certainly looks interesting. The implication is that TOCs would have PAYG on their own issued smartcards which would work within Gtr London and TfL Oyster cards would also work in the expanded PAYG zone. I assume contactless bank cards would also work across the entire area.

I use many of the Surrey (SWR) stations that are just outside the Oyster area and this will potentially be most useful.
