Crossrail will, on start, allow use of Oystercards, but that is over 12 months away & will only allow use on Crossrail trains, not GWR▸ (Great Western Railway).

Anything else I think is probably in the next GWR franchise

Cross rail is indeed a long time away, and would be especially useful given that my workplace is next to Farringdon station  Grin

May I take this opportunity to offer our customary welcome to the forum to a06285?

There are a number of commuters from Maidenhead among our membership who will no doubt be keen to share their experiences on their daily journeys with you....   Grin

Thank you. Only been working in the city for a month now, but have discovered that a laissez-faire attitude to trains and tubes will probably save me the most stress!!
3  All across the Great Western territory / Fare's Fair / Smart cards? on: November 20, 2016, 04:49:20
I'm currently buying a weekly Zones 1-6 Travelcard from Maidenhead, and am about to buy my first ever yearly ticket.

I was wondering if it's at all possible to get a smart card ticket, as seems to be the norm for at least one other train company with season tickets? If not, is it so imminent that I could conceivably hold out for it?

Many thanks in advance for your help.
