Ah, Balham... the real issue with Oyster PAYG is the differential in
fares between different routes between what appear to the general user
as the same two stations in the same zone according to TfL's new
Oyster map. How is that general user supposed to understand that
travel between those two stations might cost different amounts? As an
e.g. Oxford Circus and Balham costs £2.70 Monday to Friday from 0630
to 0930 and from 1600 to 1900 and £2.40 At all other times including
public holidays travelling wholly by tube and £3.70 Monday to Friday
from 0630 to 0930 and from 1600 to 1900 and £3.10 At all other times
including public holidays changing to Southern at London Victoria.
However travel between Oxford Circus and Finsbury Park is the same
price whether or not you change to FCC at Kings Cross. You need a
masters degree in the fares manuals to figure out the permutations and
few will know about the TfL fares finder still less check it for each
unusual journey.
