Except it seems that it didn't charge me the correct fare in the 2004
fare guide for a DLR journey I made yesterday (charged £2.00 instead of
£1.80). I only glanced at the reader, so I'd be interested to see a
journey and charged fare list to confirm this.


I went from Fulham Broadway (Zone 2) to Old Street (Zone 1) yesterday
intending to change from the District to the Northern at
Bank/Monument. However the passageway was closed and there are signs
directing everyone to make this connection at street level.

I am quite disturbed that I was charged £2.00 for the Fulham -
Bank/Monument district line bit and a further £1.60 for the
Bank/Monument to Old Street bit, it's hardly my fault that the subway
or escalators or whatever are being rebuilt and it is necessary to
leave and reenter the station because of this work. I did not stop
anywhere between the two platforms, I went directly from one to the
other via the signposted route.

The station staff at Old Street had no idea how to fix it. I shall
have to call the Oystercard helpline I guess.
