When should I touch in and out

07.62... martin j wrote in news:5708748.766.1320435317832.JavaMail.geo-discussion-forums@yqce21: Thanks Chaps. My station is Streatham Hill, so my Underground part is just to Canada Water, then Overground journey to Crystal Place or Sydenham and change to National Rail. What's the suggested touch in/out points? Thanks, Martin J Touch in: Canary Wharf Route Validation (Pink reader): Canada Water Touch out: Streatham Hill See http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/tickets/fa...current/defaul t.aspx?mode=alternate&on=Canary+Wharf&dn=Streatha m+Hill+%5bNational+Rail% 5d&ft=Adult Surely for any journey via zone 1 you will have to pass through barriers where you change from NR to LU (at London Bridge, Balham, Victoria etc). The only way to get from Streatham Hill to Canary Wharf without passing any barriers is via the ELL to Canada Water. So the default fare if there are no intermediate touches, should be the not-Z1 fare. Peter Smyth |

So the default fare if there are no intermediate touches, should be the not-Z1 fare. That doesn't actually follow for the system in general - don't forget you could go further 'west' than Balham, maybe changing onto the underground behind the barriers, at West Brompton for instance (not likely but possible). Lack of a zone 1 touch in/out can be overridden by the fact that (as they point out) some journeys are just defined as being 'via zone 1'. They don't necessarily have to detect your presence in zone 1, but you sometimes get the option of telling them you didn't go that way, using an interchange validator. OTOH for some journeys the interchange validator won't do anything, because they haven't agreed the detour is likely. As a further point, the OP mentioned using some sort of travelcard (a season?) - is he actually using PAYG extensions to that travelcard? Paul |

... Err as you may have read in my replies in this thread there does not seem to be coherent logic as to what is the primary fare and what is the alternative for the journey in question. Yes, I just had nothing to add to your discovery that the fare finder seems confused in this case. Paul S |
