Pre-pay routeing question
I'm thinking about both LU and NR in what follows, but mainly NR
(afaik LU only check tickets at the entry/exit points of the system). When undergoing a ticket check inside the transport system (on the train or at an interchange), is it enough to have a pre-pay Oyster card which has been validated at an entry point and is within the 2-hour time limit? Or can you still be PF'd if you're not on a "reasonable" route? Does the Routeing Guide apply? This has implications as to whether you can change your mind about your destination while en route, or start your journey while undecided as to your destination - which many see as one of the advantages of Oyster. The question may become more important as pre-pay is rolled out across more of NR in London. But at the moment I can't find anything on the Oyster website about it. A specific example from the present: Suppose I touch in at Kenton, take the Bakerloo 1 stop to Harrow & Wealdstone, then get on a Silverlink County non-stopper to Euston. This looks like it would save 5-10 mins compared to getting an all-stations train from Kenton to Euston, and therefore might be considered a reasonable route, though it's not allowed by the NR Routeing Guide. If I encountered a gripper on the Silverlink train, could I get PF'd? IOW, would I be required to touch out then in again at H&W if I wanted to use this route? And if this route is not allowed, would I be "allowed" to use the same route in the opposite direction, since (I think) the RG doesn't apply to LU? |
