Also note the throwaway line 'Train operators will be able to set their
own
prices for journeys.' Which can be interpreted a few ways, and probably
will
be...
So not the same fare as you would have paid travelling entirely on the
UndergrounD? eg A different fare to get to Richmond, depending on the
train you caught.
Yes - but there have been a number of previous uk.t.l threads on the matter,
so I won't add to that.
How will the daily capping work, in that case.
Same as now, travel mode will not matter, except the Oyster PAYG daily caps
are rising by 50p to be the same as the equivalent paper travelcard.
According to the TfL fares announcement this is because Oyster no longer has
the disadvantage of limited NR coverage.
And is the inclusion of overground services to Heathrow an indication that
Heathrow Connect will be an Oysterable service?
Last info I saw was that Connect beyond Hayes and Harlington remains outside
PAYG, but don't quote me.
