Default TfL website no longer shows single fares tables

Annoyingly the TfL website now directs anyone looking for a table
outlining single fares on the Underground to the "single fare finder".
Whilst this might well be a useful facility, I think it was very useful
to be able to quickly see a table which gave an overview of all the
fares (both cash and Oyster PAYG).

Of course you can still see such a table if you check the PDF of the
Tickets and fares leaflet, but an HTML webpage involves less faffing
about.

The front page for the tickets section (the one you get to by clicking
on 'Tickets and Oyster on the TfL homepage) is at:
http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/fares-tick...7/fare-finder/

Follow links to 'Ticket types' 'Single fares' and all you get is a
table detailing the Oyster daily price caps - if you want specific
single fares it directs you back to the "single fare finder".

Alternatively if you follow the horizontal tab type link to 'Transport
mode', then in the blue Tube and DLR column on the left click on '
Oyster and cash single fares' you'll end up with a 404.

Presumably TfL's marketing people think this makes the website easier
to use, but I disagree.

Anyway I've created a short link to the appropriate page of the PDF,
the one that has the single fares table on it (Adobe Acrobat reader
should skip straight to the right page using this link):
