In talking to someone about this the other day - I'm told there is/has been
a change of plan and we *wont* be allowed to use PAYG on any LER services
until the end of 2008.

I am trying to find more facts, but apparently its only something that was
decided a few days ago... Apparently there are some leaflets on the stations
explaining what will be happening. I will try and pick on up next time I'm
on a train out towards Enfield.

I will! I know lots of people who where looking forward to the PAYG option.
Not sure when I'll get out that way next, or more to the point I'm not sure
when I'll get to talk to anyone that actually knows, or is high enough to
'trust'

When I'm in tomorrow I'll keep my eyes open for the little leaflet that was
spoken of and I'll pick one up and see what's said.
