As an aside, it does feel like you're being a bit petty about what are
really rather small sums of money - now if the system had charged you
incorrectly, that would be a different matter as I'd agree it'd be about the
principle of the matter, but as the system has charged you correctly I can't
see what the problem is, apart from your apparent desire to do a bit of
'gricing' for the absolute bare minimum outlay - my take on it is simply
that if someone wants to take a completely roundabout route (and KX to
Putney via Whitechapel, the ELL, NLL and WLL is just that), then really they
shouldn't be too miffed about it setting them back two single fares instead
of one.


So what you're really saying is that if someone wants to do a perfectly legal
journey to avoid zone 1 so they pay less then they shouldn't complain when TfL
just takes their money anyway?
