I had a letter from the Minister just before Christmas confirming that this is being worked on now, and whilst she did not this time give me a timetable for the change, she did promise me that officials are on the case and that it was her intention that it would happen and that she is “looking forward to its implementation”. I met her again last week, and she confirmed to me that work is progressing on when and how the introduction will happen. They are apparently trying to sort out some technical problems, as well as to work out how the Oyster fare system will interact with the current fare system at Epsom.
