I'm 99.9% sure of this, but after advising a friend about ticketing who
is highly doubtful of my advice, I've stupidly allowed 0.1% of doubt to
creep in, so as a belt-and-braces measure I thought I'd just quickly
check here.

If one buy an Anytime single ticket from A to C, one can travel A to B
in the morning, go and do a day's work (or indeed go and 'do' a day's
fun etc), then travel from B to C in the evening and go home (or go to
the circus etc).

(For clarity, there's no complex interpretation of the routing guide
involved here, nor any cross-London tube transfer - though that needn't
make any difference so long as the BoJ isn't attempted in the middle of
a cross-London tube transfer journey.)

The point I'm making to my friend is that if they wanted to make an
A-B-C journey with a BoJ at B within the London zones, with the A-B
portion occurring in the morning peak, then actually buying a paper NR
ticket might be cheaper than paying 2x peak Oyster NR PAYG fares,
depending on the journeys in question.


Example... (all Oyster NR PAYG fares quoted are peak, charged on
weekdays between 0630-0930 and 1600-1900)

Surbiton to Clapham Junction with BoJ at Wimbledon.

Anytime Single (paper ticket) - £4.40

Surbiton to Wimbledon Oyster NR Peak fare - £3.20
Wimbledon to Clapham Jn Oyster NR Peak fare - £2.10
(Total of £5.30.)

Of course, when it comes to it, avoiding the morning rush hour
ticket-buying queues and zapping straight through with Oyster might be
worth 90p!
