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"....
