Further confusion as Mayor gives contradictory promise on Oyster
Last week the question of when local trains will allow Oyster Pay As You Go (PAYG) was further plunged into confusion, as the London Mayor said that people will be able to use Oyster PAYG on trains north of Finsbury Park by the end of this year.
However, only a month ago the train company First Capital Connect told local MP Lynne Featherstone that trains would not ‘go Oyster’ until some time next year 2010. The Hornsey and Wood Green MP has now offered to mediate in the case to help sort the matter out.
Lynne Featherstone MP comments:
“This is more proof that the left hand doesn’t know what the right one is doing. It would be great if the Mayor could genuinely deliver on his promise for trains to ‘go Oyster’ by December- after so many delays and broken promises.
“Local people don’t really care how this happens, it’s is more the when that they are interested in. I imagine they are sick to their their back teeth with contradictory promises from City Hall. I am happy to mediate if they can’t sort it out soon.”
