New online "Single fare finder" for Tube & DLR

Just noticed that TfL has launched a new facility on the fares section of their website - a "Single fare finder". http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/fares-tickets/fare-finder/ You input your start and finish station - the fares finder is replete with a javascript auto-complete function - then select adult or child and and click on "Show fares". The applicable fares are then listed - the far cheaper Oyster fares comes first (both the peak and off peak fares are listed if there's a difference), followed by the pricey cash/printed ticket fare. It's basically just a friendly front end to a simple database that lists which stations are in what zones. Err, that wouldn't work. The fare finder has to know how many zones have to be crossed for a reasonable route from A to B and whether this includes zone 1 I recall it being noted on this NG that some Oyster fares assume a zone one route is taken. A simple lookup for fares would have 20,000+ entries, making all the contiguous stations on one line in one zone one entry would chop this down a good deal. I'd seen this before but not thought much of it - however, as you mention, it does actually show what routes are set as the default for certain journeys. For example, Shepherd's Bush (Central) to Stamford Brook is routed via Z1, but to Turnham Green is routed via Z3. Similarly, to Rayners Lane it is routed out of London (via Ealing Broadway and Ealing Common) but to West Harrow, it is routed via London (e.g. Notting Hill Gate/Baker St or Bond St/Finchley Rd) -- Dave Arquati www.alwaystouchout.com - Transport projects in London |
