This will allow customers to travel between these stations, as well as on the London Underground, DLR, London Buses, Tramlink and National Rail services within the London travel zones (1-9), where contactless is accepted, just by touching in and out using a valid card or device to pay.

The SWR stations listed below are among 47 new National Rail stations in the South East where pay as you go with contactless will be accepted:

Ashford (Surrey)

Egham,
Kempton Park

Peter Williams, Customer and Commercial Director for South Western Railway said:

“We are pleased that, from February, 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”
