I take it that interavailable routes will still remain on the LU

cheaper than Northolt Park - Marylebone.

The fare changes in the New Year do give rise to some intriguing
situations occurring. For example, and correct me if I am mistaken,
there is a special set of fares for a journey combining National Rail
and TFL, so would one have to pay a different set of fares for the
following journey depending on which mode of travel you used ?

South Ruislip - Oxford Circus

Route 1: South Ruislip ( Chiltern ) Marylebone ( Central Line) Oxford
Circus

Route 2: South Ruislip ( Central Line) Oxford Circus.

And presumably the cheaper fares will not be the ones where you can
validate at an interchange.

But underneath all this is a common thread which is that all the
genuine problems caused by Oyster that TfL denies are problems on a
much larger scale on NR, and can't be solved piecemeal.

TfL should have addressed the issues in the first place instead of
just saying "tough, it only affects some people". This is not the
fault of NR, it's the fault of TfL for introducing a system with
serious flaws which they can't ignore when they are scaled up.

As a formerly disenfranchised resident of south London I am gloating
hugely at the immintent implosion of Oyster and laughing at all the
apologists who denied the problems.
