Following unconfirmed news that all overground train routes in London will have Oyster Pay As You Go (PAYG) services by September 2009, Lynne Featherstone MP has written to the London Mayor demanding confirmation that First Capital Connect Trains in Hornsey and Wood Green will be included.

The Liberal Democrat MP spearheaded a widely-supported local campaign to get PAYG on overground trains and is scheduled to meet Transport for London bosses on the 19th January, demanding a clear date when PAYG services will commence.

Lynne Featherstone MP comments:

“The people of Hornsey and Wood Green have been led up the garden path by vague promises that they will soon get PAYG on the trains.

“Enough is enough – we need full assurances from the Mayor and TfL that the system will go live here in Hornsey and Wood Green in September. I am writing to the London Mayor for confirmation, and meeting up with Transport for London in mid January to demand that promises are finally turned into action.”
