Default Oyster penalties again

on Thu, 12 Apr 2012, remarked:
What's today's equivalent of the £4.40/£6.50, and where would we find
it in the current document?

(I had a skim through and was bamboozled by the sheer number of
different fares).


If have looked at current detailed online journey history for my own card.
Choosing the "Show all charging detail" option I see that the initial touch
in charge on all my recent journeys was £3.05. I guess that is the
railcard-discounted equivalent of £4.60 off peak.

I have a feeling from past discussion here that the no touch out peak fare
without a railcard is £7.

That would cover the £4.40 and £6.50 equivalents.


Looking at my own Oyster card, the current "Touch in deduction" seems to
be £4.60 and £6.90 (off-peak and peak).

Although just to keep people on their toes^H^H^H in the dark, this s not
mentioned in the 2012 fare rise documentation (equivalent to the 2011
one I posted yesterday):

I can't find the 'body' of the Jan 2012 fare rise decision on the Mayors
Site, but here is are the appendices:

And as presented to Travelwatch:

So, it looks like you have two unresolved journeys, where the touch-out
was missed. When it's busy at Kings Cross St Pancras, especially the old
ticket hall, it seems to me to again quite easy to inadvertently "follow
through" with your own touch-out not registering.
