London Northwestern Railway: Update on rollout of pay as you go with contactless technology to 14 stations
The rollout of new pay as you go with contactless technology which had been due to go live at 14 stations operated by London Northwestern Railway (LNR) later this month has been delayed, it has been confirmed today.
The stations, including Berkhamsted, Bletchley and Hemel Hempstead, are among dozens of locations across the south-east of England which will soon benefit from simpler and more flexible payment options.
The technology had been due to go live from Sunday 22 September but will now be delayed following suspicious cyber activity which has been reported against Transport for London (TfL) systems. TfL has taken a number of security measures in response to the suspicious activity. These measures mean it is no longer possible for TfL to deliver the necessary system changes to enable Pay As You Go with Contactless to go live at 47 new stations – including the 14 operated by LNR - on September 22 as planned.
LNR is working with TfL and the wider rail industry to reschedule the launch and further information will be provided in due course.
The LNR stations receiving the technology are: Apsley; Berkhamsted; Bletchley; Bricket Wood; Cheddington; Garston; Hemel Hempstead; How Wood; Kings Langley; Leighton Buzzard; Park Street; St Albans Abbey; Tring and Watford North.
