Default Fare rises , legalised extortion?

Hampton Court is probably the only significant tourist attraction of
the latter four. Greenwich is accessible by DLR.


But is the punter going to know that. They'll look at the map, see
that NR is much quicker and go that way. And then they will find out
that their ticket isn't valid


Actually what happens is that they see loads of publicity for boat trips
and go that way or else they look at the Tube Map and find access *only*
via the Jubilee and DLR.


Actually, I've lived in London ten years and last year when I was in
Charing Cross and needed to go to Greenwich, I used the tube/DLR (and
yes it took ages), without even thinking of taking the train as being an
option.

I wouldn't make that mistake again, mind you.
