Default Interesting changes to NR Fares

There is a mini fares revision on 23 May 2004 to coincide with the new
NR Timetable.

the changes include the introduction of the LUL fare scale for

- the North London Line between North Woolwich and Richmond
- West London line between Willesden Junction and West Brompton
- Thameslink between West Hampstead and Kentish Town (LU fares already
apply south of Kentish Town to E&C / London Bridge / Moorgate)

This will mean a reduction in fares for many trips - especially via the
NLL.

Also through fares to Southern Railway destinations (i.e South Central)
from LUL will be changed to reflect a new zonal structure being
introduced. I have no more detail that this but it sounds intriguing.

No word on whether Pre-Pay also becomes valid. However the changes are
in line with TfL's published proposals to extend the LUL fare scale and
Pre-Pay.


Sounds one step closer to the creation of a proper rail authority for
London:
