Nope. Won't happen. They *want* to. The issue is TransportUK and Serco (the company that operates the trains on behalf of Merseyrail) know they're losing their contract in 2028 when it'll go to public ownership and are refusing to invest in the technology needed for tap and go.

They have had the tap and go card readers in the stations for a good while now, but delayed using them
