Wrong - pre-pay Oyster caps at a cheaper rate than travelcards.


Only if one doesn't want to use NR.

For most tourists touring central London this is not an issue.

Hmm,

Greenwich
Richmond (& Ham House)
Hampton Court
Crystal Palace
Hampstead Heath

Hampton Court is probably the only significant tourist attraction of
the latter four. Greenwich is accessible by DLR.

But is the punter going to know that. They'll look at the map, see
that NR is much quicker and go that way. And then they will find
out that their ticket isn't valid
