Used to get a lot of free trips.
The other rail companies in London should also allow Oyster later this year after being handed large enough wads of taxpayer's money.

Ahh yeah I'm in a SWT area
Although the train I usually catch is FGW
Be nice if they do roll these things out, saves fumbling for the ticket everytime and holding people up.
(I know someone one will say oh but they can track your journey blah blah, but lets face it if you have a mobile phone you can already be tracked)
