Thus for Vauxhall to Westminster, the TfL fare (for travel only on the
Tube) is £2.40 peak or off-peak, or the NR+TfL through fare is £4.10
peak / £3.50 off-peak.

These differences, nearly a factor of 2:1 for peak time travel, are
rather excessive, and I've been caught by them one or twice before.
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?

You sum up rather well why a lot of Londoners, especially in South London,
are so ****ed off with the current fares structure and want Overground (with
TfL fares) extended.

The problem is the Government that won't let the TOCs bring their fares down
to TfL levels.
