Contactless fares to Windsor and Eton central

[matt_world2004]

Looking at https://www.brfares.com/!fares?orig=SLO&dest=WNC

A contactless fare is listed for Windsor and Eton central despite no contactless fare being available is this something that is coming?

Interesting. Are there any readers at Windsor & Eton Central?

There wasn't when I went there Sunday

It may be that GWR have aspirations then.

As an aside, the PAP/POP/PAC/POC fares shown in the fares database are not linked in any way to the TfL fares database and are provided for information only. They are often wrong and are not always shown even when available.

Looks like the branches east of Reading are getting NFC readers.
From the Maidenhead - Marlow Passengers Assoc. homepage:

Contactless Travel on the Branch
We are led to believe that a cashless ticket vending machine will shortly be installed at Furze Platt, and that NFC ("contactless") travel will shortly be extended from Maidenhead to Marlow for journeys as far as Paddington and Reading.
