Travel Cards: Harpenden and Berkhamsted
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether her Department has made an assessment of the potential merits of extending the Oyster card scheme to stations in the Harpenden and Berkhamsted constituency.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
Transport for London (TfL) and Operators can consider and propose Oyster expansion where a positive business case can be demonstrated.
No such proposals have been put forward to the Department. However, we are expanding ticketing innovations such as Pay As You Go (PAYG) to more stations and this month we launched PAYG with contactless at Berkhamsted station to join Harpenden station which got contactless PAYG in 2019.
