With the full roll out tomorrow (16th Sept) of Contactless payment in the zones, on both tube and National Rail, here's the ATOC instructions added to the National Rail web site:
Goes on to explain card clash etc, weekly capping, max cash fares etc etc.
Contactless in London
From 16 September 2014, you'll be able to use your contactless payment card on the bus, Tube, tram, DLR, London Overground and most National Rail services in the Oyster pay as you go area.
Travelling with contactless is cheaper than paying with cash and normally costs the same as an adult-rate Oyster pay as you go fare.
It is a great alternative to Oyster and paper tickets. Use your contactless payment card in exactly the same way as you use your Oyster card, touching in and out for every journey.
Please note, for National Rail services contactless is only available for use in standard class.
