Anyone managed to make it work for tube fares for 2011 yet? I get
to a "Page not found" page when I try. National Rail seemed to
work, though, though, suspiciously, the fares look the same as in
2010 and it's not working now.

I realise the National Rail fares I checked (Vauxhall - Putney) were
correct for 2011. The off-peak fare with railcard discount is
unchanged but the peak fare has gone up from £1.30 to £1.50.


I thought it was working with both the 2010 and 2011 figures until
about 10 this morning. This may have been coincidence and I may have
been getting information from my browser caches.

I have zapped them now and find:
I open http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tickets/default.aspx.
I click single fare finder which takes me to

http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/
tickets/faresandtickets/farefinder/current/
I enter Aldgate and Barbican and click Show fares.
It comes up with Cash 4.00 and Oyster 1.80. The current Oyster figure
is 1.90.

I have reported it to the LU CSC. They acknowledge it as a problem and
will advise when it is fixed. Changing over to a new set of files
requires design. The change over does not seem to have been tested as a
real time issue.


They reported it fixed and I agree.


I agree they seem to have noticed that this year is no longer 2010 and got
it working properly for 2011 now.

They still don't have a Railcards tab on the Tube, DLR and London
Overground fares link but the single fares finder does seem to come up
with the correct off peak railcard reduced fares.
