Blackfriars has re-opened
"Paul Corfield" wrote in message
... This is beginning to sound awfully like the mess that was created at Southwark LU / Waterloo East when South Eastern stuck a new gateline in. There is a special Oyster charge levied to allow people to walk through Southwark to reach the street. The reverse situation applies here with the exit route via FCC's station although I guess you can argue that people should walk across the road bridge and enter at the right ticket hall rather than use FCC's platforms as a walking route. Is the Southwark situation really a 'special charge' though, or is it the same as what you'd be charged if you entered and left any station in the 2 - 30 min bracket? This is what we discussed regarding Blackfriars after FCC mentioned on their website that using their station as a thoroughfare would incur a 'penalty'. We came to the conclusion that it was no different to any other station - just that people aren't in the habit of walking straight through in most places. But apparently there are posters at Canary Wharf advising of a 'pass through' charge? Paul S |
