Default DLR + NR PAYG Fares

I was a bit surprised to find that combined DLR + NR PAYG prices seem
to be the same as for LU only, rather than as for NR only or as for LU
+ NR.

I hadn't had any reason to do it on PAYG till today, changing from DLR
at Greenwich* and ending at London Bridge, and now I look in the Fare
Finder, they all seem to be calculated that way with no alternatives.

I thought I was getting reasonably knowledgeable about Oyster-related
stuff, but I'd obviously missed that one.

Incidentally, the fare to London Bridge LU does have the option of a
combined LU + NR rate, but presumably you'd have to take DLR and LU to
Charing Cross and get the train back or something to get charged that
one.

*And I had no idea whether I was more likely to get an unstarted
journey at LB NR if I did or didn't touch while changing at Greenwich,
but hoped neither.
