Not entirely... does that mean that an entirely new system of train+Tube

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.



Indeed. Why *do* TfL insist on complicating matters? How many
different fares do they need?


In this instance, it sounds as though TfL aren't really the ones
complicating matters. It's no secret that TfL want complete control of
the London suburban rail network, using Tube zonal fares.
