Willesden Junction itself, you might need one from Wembley Central.


Isn't Kensington Olympia part of "London Terminals" any more?


I believe not, quite a recent change though I believe. I only know this
from looking through various fares on the avantix mobile and seeing
that a weekly to london terminals is different to a weekly to
Kensington Olympia

Kensington Olympia has always been treated differently than Terminals.
Probably because it isnt a terminal

Terminal is not the same as terminus. KO could be a terminal just like
Blackfriars or London Bridge.

A better example is KX Thameslink, which has *no* terminus platforms
(unlike Blackfriars and LB).

But KO is not a London Terminal within the meaning of the Routeing Guide
or ticketing.
