"The expansion of pay as you go with contactless technology to 103 stations in the South East has been an important step in making train travel easier and more convenient for customers."
"An initial pilot at six Chiltern Railways stations recorded more than 268,000 entries and exits in its first six months, offering an early indication of demand."
"On the c2c railway network, contactless travel has proved particularly popular, with Essex stations passing 3 million journeys by early 2025."
The rollout of London-style contactless travel tickets across the South East has gained popularity, with over 8.6 million journeys recorded by February 2026. Funded by the Department for Transport and administered by Transport for London, the initiative replaces traditional paper tickets at various stations. Initial pilots at six Chiltern Railways stations showed significant demand, leading to an expansion to 53 stations. The c2c railway network has seen over 3 million journeys, and further expansions are expected to increase usage significantly, making train travel more convenient.
