Contactless PAYG is to be rolled out to a further 45 stations next year with £27M funding, unfortunately there is little information available but it’s said that Stansted Airport is included in these latest plans:

They are going to have a allow a lot longer to complete journeys. I'm have run into problems with relatively short journeys when there are bad connection.

Was just coming to post this. I suspect it will be many months before this is relaunched - all publicity from the TOCs appears to have gone or been hidden.
