Turning London orange

Londoners don't only use trains where TfL sets the fares. Not all the passengers are Londoners either but it seems to be one of several places where the description "people" is displaced by a presumption that strangers have all stayed on their own side of the boundary. Presumably that's just referring to Oyster fares, on the assumption that no Londoner is stupid enough to pay cash fares, but some non Londoners do (and then go on social media and complain about London's fares) Some Oyster fares are based on National Rail fares for the route. Such as Vauxhall to Waterloo direct (where iirc it's more than going on an indirect tube-only route). This applies to Oyster+contactless fares for most NR routes (apart from LO) south of the river. North of the river, many NR routes are on the TfL fare scale, rather than the NR fare scale. Your example is far from unique... see also Richmond or Wimbledon to Waterloo, Lewisham to Charing Cross, Balham to Victoria etc etc. The underlying NR fares within London are set by the DfT, I'm guessing after some sort of consultation with the relevant TOCs, and the Oyster/contactless fares then derive from that. |
