I was a bit surprised to find that combined DLR + NR PAYG prices seem

That doesn't seem to be generally the case.

The single fare finder prices Island Gardens to Deptford [National Rail]
as 1.40 peak 1.30 off-peak, so it seems to be pricing that as NR+LU --
LU only would be 1.30 at all times.

However, West India Quay to London Bridge [National Rail] for example
does appear to be priced as LU only. *I wonder if it's significant that
this journey can also be made by DLR+tube. *I guess it's just priced as

or not?


I wondered that, but there would normally be alternative fares shown.
If you put London Bridge (NR) as the destination, it specifically
offers only the LU fare. If you put London Bridge (LU) as the
destination, it offers alternatives.

Exiting the NR barrier at London Bridge, having previously touched
only to start the journey at a non-interchange DLR station, deducts
the LU fare.
