Chiltern Railways are apparently to trial contactless EMV cards between Bicester and Oxford.

The objective of this project is to implement and pilot contactless travel on the new Bicester - Oxford route on Chiltern Railways. This is a partnership between Chiltern Railways, DfT and TfL.

For those unaware, EMV is the name of the chip and PIN standard - this is a trial of regular contactless payment cards, not an operator-specific smartcard scheme.
