(snipped long fares info)
WTF!!!!

Does this mean that the majority of in-boundary National Rail stations
(given the exceptions mentioned) will switch to zonal fares? I get the
impression that will be too easy to understand.

Instead, AIUI, does it just mean that through fares from NR stations in
the same zone (e.g Forest Hill, Wandsworth Common, Kew Bridge) to LU
stations are the same, but the NR price is still additional to the LU
price (e.g. Battersea Park to Baker Street SDS still costs Battersea
Park - Victoria SDS + LU Z1 single, but e.g. South Bermondsey - Moorgate
costs the same total as that).




Nearly, Richmond to U1 via London is currently £5.10, however Richmond to
U1234 via 'Any Permitted' from Jan will be £4.20 and is valid for a single
journey within zone 1234 (subject to a few excpetions) on the tube, train or
DLR

Richmond to U1234 via the tube only is still cheaper at £2.80 (which is a
reduction on the current fare)

Hope that helps anyone further understand


Not entirely... does that mean that an entirely new system of train+Tube
zonal fares has been developed for NR services? That example says that
these new fares are neither TfL zonal fares nor a combined NR fare + LU
fare, but a completely new concoction. No wonder the travelling public
get confused.
