Default Peak bus fares sneak in unannounced

...and for a longer period of the day than originally planned. I'm
not too pleased about this! The only publicity I've ever seen
regarding this was a single poster a month ago saying that the
current prepay bus fare was a "limited time offer" - admittedly
until today, but they never said what would come afterwards...

Oyster prepay prices will be £1.00 from 0630-1900 weekdays, £0.80
at all other times. Originally I think it was planned to make the
"peak" period 0630-0930 only on buses.


Although the web site says peak fares apply till 19:00, the fares
leaflet says quite clearly that it's only till 09:30.

Which is it?


The web site has been corrected this morning. It now says the £1 prepay
fare applies only Mon-Fri 0630-0930 (except on buses with conductors),
which is consistent with the leaflet.

When does this come into effect ? I thought there's usually some sort of
notice period before they introduce the new fares.
