Crossrail fares announced - and a massive extension!
https://www.standard.co.uk/news/tran...-a3791496.html
Excessive premiumm to LHR from Z1 - £7.20, from Z2 only £4.50, otherwise normal fares. And Crossrail now appears to go more northerly than was expected! |

I further note that the £12.10 fare is also exactly the same as the cheapest advance purchase single from HEx so presumably LHR has some restriction that it can't be cheaper than the cheapest HEx fare? |

Someone tell him that Heathrow is in Z6! Excessive premiumm to LHR from Z1 - £7.20, from Z2 only £4.50, otherwise normal fares. Does this mean that splitting the trip at a Z2 station will save money? (You'll need two different cards, presumably) And Crossrail now appears to go more northerly than was expected! "the new line, which will eventually link Reading with Sheffield and Abbey Wood" Tell me about it! Lots of the post I used to get in Brentwood had first been undeliverable in Brentford. At the time the latter featured in a wall to wall "Brentford Nylons" advertising. -- Roland Perry |

Verily a tourist tax on people doing one one-way trip to/from Heathrow on a particular day. The fudge continues, even under TfL management, that the ex Heathrow Connect (now Elizabeth Line) stations may be geographically in Z6, but they are not for fares purposes. Apart from this concession about capping/all-day tickets. -- Roland Perry |

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. -- Colin Rosenstiel |
