And given that Clapham Junction is a London Overground station if I
went to the ticket office, would they sell me one for £4.90!?

No - the ticket office and ticket machines are run by South West
Trains.

Furthermore, I rather suspect that if you were to buy a Railcard-
discounted Day Travelcard from a London Overground ticket office or
ticket machine it too would cost £5.00, as LO use 'National Rail
standard' ticket issuing systems.


It does seem remarkably daft that LU can't manage to sell these
tickets for the same price as 'National Rail' does - it introduces a
completely unnecessary confusion factor where there's absolutely no
need for one.

Buying a discounted Z1-6 from an LU ticket office this morning, I was
charged £5.00. Apparently the previous £4.90 was a pricing mistake which
has now been corrected. Hoorah!!!
