Dartford commuters in Oyster card bid
Comments |
Shorter queues and a less stressful commute could be on the
cards if rail chiefs put Dartford on the Oyster card map.
The pay-as-you-go scheme, adopted by more than 300 mainline
stations in and around Greater London at the start of the year,
could be extended into north Kent if transport bosses agree the
move is viable.
A spokesman for rail operator Southeastern told the
Messenger there is "no reason in theory" why the
queue-cutting electronic cards could not be used at Dartford rail
station.
The idea is being supported by the borough's MP, Dr
Howard Stoate, who said: "It would make a huge difference to
people living in Dartford."
