Oyster PAYG & Virgin

At the time PAYG was introduced, Queens Park - Kenton was interavailable; it was only Kenton - H&W that was NR fares only. Indeed - my comments were just harking back to earlier times, though I grant you they could be seen as misleading. So, if we're doing clarity, I should point out that whilst Tube/NR paper tickets were indeed interavailable from Kenton to points south (but not from H&W), when PAYG was introduced TfL managed to negotiate to make it valid from H&W as well, including on the (slow *and* fast) NR services towards Euston - which was a minor achievement in itself. (And just to be ultra clear, the arrangement whereby NR fares applied for paper ticketing between Kenton and H&W nonetheless persisted for some years afterwards - it was only more recently that this inconsistency was done away with, and interavailability of paper tickets from H&W was ushered in). |
