Transport for London (TfL) and Operators can consider and propose Oyster expansion where a positive business case can be demonstrated.
No such proposals have been put forward to the Department. However, we are expanding ticketing innovations such as Pay As You Go (PAYG) to more stations and this month we launched PAYG with contactless at Berkhamsted station to join Harpenden station which got contactless PAYG in 2019.
