Perfectly correct, as there is no obvious way of travelling between the
stations in question without passing through Zone 1, and £1.50 is the
Oyster Single fare for a journey in Zone 1.

Notting Hill Gate is in an odd position zonewise.

Is Notting Hill Gate to Heathrow treated as Z1-6 or Z2-6? How about
Notting Hill Gate to Acton Town?


1-6, which is logical, since NHG-EB-AT-H123 is an illogical route. I'd
only try that one with a Z2-6 travelcard.


It's illogical to reduce the cost of a single trip from £3.50 or £2.00
to £1.80 or £1.00? It's one extra transfer and only a few extra minutes.

And what if you /do/ have a Z2-6 Travelcard?

How about Notting Hill Gate to Acton Town, where it's two transfers in
either case?
