PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Railways: Berkshire (30 September 2019)

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether the TfL Oyster fare zones scheme will be extended to cover Berkshire stations beyond West Drayton following the commencement of (a) the TfL Rail western section and (b) the full Elizabeth Line service.

Asked by:
Mr Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi (Labour)

Decisions about ticket media on Transport for London (TfL) Rail and the Elizabeth Line are a matter for TfL. However, TfL has announced that Oyster will not be extended to services beyond West Drayton, due to limitations with the system, which is now more than 15 years old.

The Williams Rail Review, currently underway, is considering how best to improve the ticketing offer for passengers so that it is simple and fit for the twenty-first century.
