Theoretical Oyster PrePay Question
 

It should come through as a single journey provided there was a gap of no
longer than 15 minutes at his interchanges.

Hi gang,

This is a purely theoretical question (at the moment), to determine how
"clever" (or otherwise) Oyster PrePay actually is.

Let's say that our passenger is at Southgate and heading for Waterloo.
Normal route would, of course, be to change from Piccadilly to Northern
at Leicester Square or, if they've got a bit of luggage, a pair of
cross-platform interchanges (Picc to Vic at Finsbury Park, Vic to
Bakerloo at Oxford Circus). PrePay for that at the weekend is £1.80.

Let's say that our poor passenger felt a little unwell en route, so
decided to head to the surface at Finsbury Park to continue his journey
as far as Kings Cross by wagn. (LU tickets being interavailable on wagn
between FPK and KGX). Remembering, of course, to use the validators at
Finsbury Park and Kings Cross (Suburban).

He then continues his journey by taking the Victoria Line on to Oxford
Circus and doing the cross-platform change to the Bakerloo.

In this situation, would Oyster recognise the wagn - Victoria Line
change as a continuation of journey, or would he get charged an extra
£1.60 for the Zone 1 Single from KX to Waterloo?

Cya,

Barry
