Err it's OK you don't really have to answer it but it's the classic
problem case and surely represents the real nightmare that sits behind
trying to introduce a scheme like NR PAYG when no one is minded to
just have one overarching farescale. *Another fun combination might
be Balham to Harrow and Wealdstone!

Well, at least the Balham end of the journey won't be too much of a
problem. *Unlike Richmond, Stratford or H&W, Balham's NR and Tube are
totally seperate with their own gatelines. *So "Balham (Northern)" and
"Balham (Southern)" can be in the PAYG system as two different stations
that just happen to have an OOSI between them.

A previous thread about Shepherds Bush suggests that that may not be
the case. Despite the buildings being separate, a poster reported
being charged as if going via the Central Line when entering the LO
station. It could be a one-off bug, but it's not obvious.
