suzyscottdotcomThis is the snippet from the full TfL press release...
The extension of the ticketing system will cover all commuter rail routes within Greater London, and will particularly benefit commuters living across south and northeast London, where Oyster pay as you go is not currently accepted on the vast majority of rail services.
The Mayor has also confirmed that Oyster pay as you go will be accepted on all Thames Clipper river services from today, making river travel more convenient for thousands more Londoners and helping to boost usage of London's underused thoroughfare.
Oyster pay as you go will also be accepted on c2c services in Greater London as well as at Grays, Chafford Hundred, Purfleet and Ockendon stations in Essex.
A new map that reveals the incredible reach of Oyster around the Capital from January has also been produced.
These will be zonally based, but will be different from fares on TfL services.
TfL fares will apply on the Tube, Docklands Light Railway (DLR), London Overground and National Rail services that currently accept Oyster pay as you go.
An additional combined TfL/National Rail fare will be introduced for journeys that incorporate both TfL and National Rail services.
The Mayor also announced today that passengers can pay for their travel on Thames Clippers river services with Oyster pay as you go, in the process receiving a 10 per cent discount.
Passengers with a Travelcard loaded onto their Oyster card are eligible for the existing discount of a third off their ticket price, which can then be paid for using pay as you go credit which can be loaded onto the same Oyster card.
