&gt; Excellent, I&#x27;ve been trying to figure this out; whether I will be able to just jump on&#x2F;off using my debit (or Oyster) card as I currently do on the over&#x2F;underground.<p>Note that you can also use contactless or Oyster on National Rail within the zones, e.g. King&#x27;s Cross to Alexandra Palace or Moorgate to Finsbury Park.<p>&gt; Any idea how far out of town this ticketing system will be usable? Will someone in Reading be able to use a contactless card without having to buy a paper ticket?<p>At the moment no. One would hope that common sense will prevail.
