The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what her planned timetable is for the expansion of contactless ticketing to (a) C2C and (b) Greater Anglia services.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

We have committed to expanding Pay As You Go (PAYG) contactless ticketing to a further 47 stations in the South East by the end of the year, with 6 stations on the Chiltern railways line having already gone live in June.  This expansion will include the entire c2c network where passengers will benefit from a better ticketing offer. Further details of any wider expansion of PAYG will be announced in due course.
