Commuters will soon be able to use a contactless pay-as-you-go system at three railway stations across the area.
Pay-as-you-go with contactless will be available at 12 more South Western Railway (SWR) suburban stations, including Windsor & Eton Riverside, Datchet and Wraysbury from Sunday, September 22.
Customers will be able to travel between these stations as well as on the London Underground, DLR, Tramlink, National Rail and London Buses, where contactless is accepted.
Commuters will not need to queue for a ticket, buy a ticket or top-up before travelling, and can touch in and out using a valid card or device to pay.
Other additional stations to introduce pay-as-you-go with contactless include Egham, Ashford (Surrey), Kempton Park, Staines, Shepperton, Sunbury, Sunnymeads, Virginia Water, and Upper Halliford.
Peter Williams, customer and commercial director for South Western Railway, said: “We are pleased that, from September, customers at an additional 12 of our stations will have access to fast and flexible payment, as pay as you go with contactless is introduced.
“Touching in and out at applicable stations will mean less time spent queuing to buy a ticket and will speed up journeys for our customers.”
