Do OOSIs affect Oyster pay-as-you-go fares? I do Finsbury Park - Euston
- Watford Junction fairly often, and i have no idea if i'm being charged
for two trips or one. I suppose i could just go and look at my Oyster
history!

You're charged for one. Even if you were doing X - Euston Square walk
Euston - Watford Junction then it would be one.

I got bitten by this last Thursday. I had the day off and travelled into
London around 10am.

Without thinking I took the tube to Charing Cross instead of walking and
got the train back (I walked back but it was after 7pm). Kerching.
That's 3GBP for Euston-Charing Cross because Watford Junction-Zone1 at
that time of day is 6GBP even though WJ-Euston is 3GBP and
Euston-Zone1 is 1.50GBP. So much for always being charged the cheapest
fare on PAYG. (I was travelling with my partner - I wonder whether if
we'd swapped cards in Euston then they'd have to give me the 1.50GBP
back - that's then clearly two separate journeys on each card by two
different people and swapping PAYG cards is allowed.)

I'll try taking it up with TfL but last time I had something like this I
got an email acknowledgement but nothing futher at all (I asked for a
reply by letter as well as email - maybe that was a mistake)
