Crossrail fares announced - and a massive extension!
In message , at 20:55:41 on
Fri, 16 Mar 2018, Richard remarked: It does NOT say that a zone 1-6 travelcard will cover travel on the Elizabeth Line as far as Heathrow. It's well written as smoke and mirrors but it offers no prices to Heathrow using travelcards, nor can I see any reference to Freedom Passes. So what those of us outside London who would expect to buy a day travelcard and not use Oyster are supposed to do is entirely unstated. Errr what does "with travelcards that cover Zone 6 able to be used on services to Heathrow." mean then? Probably what you think it does, but the release seems to me to have been written very badly or very carefully, I'm not sure which. It suffers from being a press release about the Mayor's infamous "fare freeze" as much as an announcement about Elizabeth Line fares. Much of the wriggling is because the Elizabeth Line (as discussed here wrt roundels) is "neither fish nor flesh nor fowl" when it comes to being a tube, an Overground or a National Rail line, having as it does a station at Heathrow which both is and isn't in Z6 depending on the ticket you buy. -- Roland Perry |

I think I'll change that last bit to "or fare you are charged", because until your day's trips are amalgamated under the capping system, all you actually "buy" with smart ticketing is a trip through a gate. -- Roland Perry |
