That's going to get interesting - does that mean the maximum Oyster fare
is going to increase (double?) when you neglect to touch out?

Also, is it just me or are the fares slightly confused - London
Terminals to Gatwick is priced at £14/£8 whereas East Croydon is £5..20/£3.

I assume it will price it barrier to barrier on the rail section rather
than start to end points where it's possible that you went via East
Croydon on the way from London Bridge (London Bridge to East Croydon is
£4.90/£3.10)


Oyster fares for stations to Gatwick Airport and the Gatwick Express are now shown on the 2016 fares tab of the TfL single fare finder.
