What I wonder is how do they work it out for journeys which one can do
in any of three ways (TfL only, NR only, and both) where there is only
a
common gate-line at each end, for example Farringdon to Kentish Town?

In that case it doesn't matter, it is an "interavailable" route and
each operator's tickets are valid on the other (this applies between
West Hampstead and London Bridge or Elephant).

Depends what you re trying to work out. If it's how much you put up the
interavailable fare after NR has had an annual increase (but the TfL
element is frozen) then there's only three choices:

Put it up (breaks Kahn's )
Freeze it and tell NR to suck up the inflation element.
Freeze it, pay NR an inflation rise on its proportion of the fare basket
for that flow, and reduce the TfL income.

Did Sadiq ever promise to freeze all fares or only TfL fares?

Most people would think a fare from Farringdon to Kentish Town charged to
their Oyster is included, as they would also expect travelcards within the
zones to be covered by the pledge.

Surely only
the latter, in which case he won't be breaking his promise. He's a lawyer,
so I can't believe he'd promise to freeze something he had no control
over.

He stuck his neck out by saying "no ifs no buts".

His actual words were, apparently "Londoners won't pay a penny more for
their travel in 2020 than they do today."

Oh

"Londoners won't ..."

Does that mean that visitors (including those from the rest of Britain)
will?
