Train passengers travelling to and from Surrey, Sussex and London will soon benefit from simpler journeys with the expansion of contactless ticketing. 

Pay as You Go technology will be extended to a further 50 stations across the South East from 14th December.  Eleven of these are in Surrey and Sussex including Reigate, Dorking and stations on the East Grinstead to London line such as Oxted and Lingfield. 

Tap-in tap-out ticketing allows passengers to use a bank card or contactless device to enter any railway station, instead of manually buying individual or return tickets. 

The expansion has been paid for by Government funding in preparation for its creation of Great British Railways.
