How did you arrive at £4.40? I reckon £5.10 is the correct price for a
Goodmayes - U1234 ticket.

£4.40 is the price listed in the National Fares Manual.

That's odd - I don't have the printed NFM (and therefore the main
fares tables), but the text in Section L says that the fare for this
ticket is determined by Table 2 on page L4, which says £5.10.

On the TfL site
http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/fares-tick...sh-singles.asp
it says

Tube/DLR - Train fares cover through-journeys between the Tube/DLR and
National Rail and from National Rail to National Rail via the Tube/DLR. They
are the maximum that you will pay for a single journey in the London zonal
area.

So I think the fares in Table 2 are only maximums and TOCs are free to set
prices for specific journeys lower if they so wish.
