The new booklet, Fares For 2004, doesn't mention A - D either but
according to my initial information the single fare on Pre Pay (i.e..
maximum from A - D) would be £5.50

That's fine if I take the Met line route both ways, but what about the
Chiltern line option. Will I get charged 5.50 GBP for the Amersham to
Marylebone section and then another zone 1 single fare 1.60 GBP for
Baker St to Oxford Circus? Is the software clever enough (or will it
ever be) to know that it is a continuation of a journey and not a
separate journey?
I will be passing through barriers at 4 different stations. Even after
all the threads on here over the last few weeks I still don't know for
sure how much my card will be deducted on Jan 5th. I am guessing 11
GBP if sticking to LUL and suspect 14.40 GBP via Chiltern which will
mean an extra 3 quid a day (almost).

I have Marylebone - Baker Street shown as an Out of Station
Interchange so you shouldn't be charged extra.

Also do you have any info on what the prepay fare for the above
journey is likely to be for both Saturday and Sunday combined? It
seems to be a state secret that must not be released to the public
under any circumstance. I can not find the answer from any of the
Oyster handouts or various websites fares PDF's etc.

I can't tell you exactly but there appears to be a reduction for single
fares at weekends and public holidays on Pre Pay but as I said the new
booklet doesn't specifically mention A - D

£3.80 (1 - 6 Weekdays)
£3.70 (1 - 6 Weekdays on Pre- Pay)
£1.80 (Weekend and Public Holidays on Pre Pay)

(I've looked at this several times to check I've got it right; it seems
like a big reduction)


OK Thanks for that.
I will post here in Jan the actual amount that was deducted from my card
for the various journey's from zone 6D.
