Default London Overground from 11 Nov 2007

ps.com...

There is plenty of talk about Oyster PAYG being available on London
Overground but very little in writing about the actual fares to be
charged for PAYG. The assumption seems to be that the fares will be
the same as those on the underground under PAYG. Is this actually the
case?


I don't think so. I've just emailed them with that very question though.
Current evidence from NR's online planner is that London Overground is just
a change of TOC, and fares will be rail fares, not tube fares, with normal
point to point NR tickets remaining available.

Another pertinent point is that NR fares change in January. There could be
wholesale changes to do with the London Fare Zones (as they are described by
DfT) at that time, like there were in January 07.
