The first train stations that will install Transport for London (TfL) style contactless payments have been named.

Fifty-three new locations will introduce the tap-in/out payment system and join more than 200 stations in a ring around London that will receive the upgrade.

The systems, including equipment from Cubic Transportation Systems, will be in place for all of the announced stations by December 2023 as part of the £20 million works funded by the Department for Transport (DfT).

Rail Minister Huw Merriman said: ‘One of the best ways to get more people using our railways is to make journeys as simple, flexible and convenient as possible and the government’s programme for rail reform prioritises exactly that.

‘By removing the stress of finding the best deal in advance or having the right ticket ready to go at the barriers, the extension of tap-in tap-out ticketing is the next step of our plan for rail reform and we’re working towards Pay As You Go being rolled out beyond the South East through the Midlands and up to the North.’

Here are the first 53 stations announced to be receiving the upgrade – is yours on the list?

From Apsley to Wraysbury, a further 53 stations will welcome contactless technology by the end of the year.

The technology is available at more than 350 stations already across London with three-quarters of trips on TfL services now using contactless payments.

The expansion will not include Oyster cards and will focus on bank card-based contactless payments.
