Yes there is. I've only used it once and can't recall if there was an * Oyster validator on that route. If there isn't, then there should be. There should be one on the NLL platforms as people can change trains there. Are you thinking about journeys like Highbury & Islington to Clapham Junction, if you get a Richmond train and have to change at WJ to a WJ-CJ train? *But you can do the whole journey on one train if you time it right. What happens then? *Do you get lumbered with a "via Zone 1" fare? -- Richard J. (to email me, swap 'uk' and 'yon' in address)- That one seems to be priced not via zone 1 by default. |

What happens then? *Do you get lumbered with a "via Zone 1" fare? No, that's a zone 2 fare - and Stratford to Clapham Junction is charged as a zone 2&3 fare. You can check all such possibilities using the TfL single fare finder here... http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/tickets/fa...inder/current/ ....cross-referencing, if needs be, to the TfL-rate fare table he http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tickets/14416.aspx Bear in mind the different fare tables for NR-only and through NR+TfL rate fares. |

We had a discussion here where I got lumbered with a "via Zone 1" fare despite touching the pink validator. I think the problem was because I continued to Putney. If I had stopped at Clapham Junction I'd have got a "via Zone 2" fare. I was thinking more of changing involving reversal there which might be a bit more likely to be justified. That said, even Acton Central to Shepherd's Bush doesn't look too plausible, though. -- Colin Rosenstiel |

I think the problem was because I continued to Putney. If I had stopped at Clapham Junction I'd have got a "via Zone 2" fare. Yes, if I remember the discussion correctly that was indeed the issue - it was a Highbury & Islington to Putney journey, via NLL/WLL to CJ then SWT - but there's no 'non-z1' fare in the system for that journey. I was thinking more of changing involving reversal there which might be a bit more likely to be justified. That said, even Acton Central to Shepherd's Bush doesn't look too plausible, though. Acton Central to Shepherd's Bush (LO) is charged as a zone 2&3 journey anyway. |
