Default Oyster PAYG twixt Viccy and Balham

:


Balham - Victoria on Oyster PAYG single is £2.60, £2 off peak.


That is curious; the corresponding LU fares are £2.70 & £2.20.

Oyster's helpline only explained "National Rail sets its own fares".
I trust an unholy row will start in January.


If you think that is bad, try Balham to Sloane Square

Balham (London Underground) to Sloane Square

Cash £4.00
Oyster Peak £ 2.70
Oyster Off-Peak £2.20


Balham (National Rail) to Sloane Square

Oyster Peak £ 3.70
Oyster Off-Peak £3.10

(the latter being the PAYG variant of the National Rail Z3-U1 fare)

It's called "integrated transport"....
