Oyster Card readers activated at Highams Park station
After months of campaigning, the Oyster Card readers at Highams Park station were finally activated on 2 January 2010.
Although they were installed months and months ago, the weren’t activated, meaning people using the station were having to pay higher rail fares.
The Lib Dem Focus Team have been as frustrated as anyone that the readers weren’t working - as my picture shows! We’ve been campaigning with the Lib Dem group in the Greater London Authority to get the readers working. Now travelcard and Pay As You Go customers can use the machines.
We appreciate the pressure residents have been putting on the Mayor’s office, TfL and the national rail operators to get the readers working. It is long overdue, but still good news.
