LONDON’S underground and overland rail services are to have a single, integrated ticket system for the first time after agreement was reached to extend Oyster smartcard ticketing to most of London’s mainline rail services from 2 January. Thames Clipper river services will join on the same date. The only inner-London services excluded from the new deal are the new southeastern high-speed services from Kent into St Pancras and the routes to Gatwick, Heathrow and Stansted airports. www.tfl.gov.uk/oyster
