Was talk of local rollout just a “hypothetical option”?
GTR says Oyster is not coming to Welwyn Hatfield, the local MP says it is
The Spring/Summer edition of a newsletter, delivered door-to-door in Welwyn Hatfield this month, announces “Oyster coming down the track”.
The publication, PeopleTalk, which is about the work of local tory MP Grant Shapps, continues on page five with a quote from the MP in which he says “It’s fantastic to finally see Welwyn Hatfield included in the Oyster zones”.
But that’s not the case according Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR).
GTR has confirmed that
Oyster is coming down the track as the pamphlet claims, but say it’s stopping at Potters Bar and will not reach Welwyn Hatfield, despite the warm welcome by our local MP.
