This is rather strange. Qjump shows two CDR fares

CHEAP DAY RETURN ANY PERMITTED 8.00 GBP (5.30 with YP railcard)
CHEAP DAY RETURN ANY PERMITTED 14.40 GBP (9.50 with YP railcard)

However it won't offer any trains for the 8.00 fare. Looking on the Avantix
program it only shows one fare of 8.00 Route +ANY PERMITTED.

Can someone check the latest NFM and see what the correct fare for this
journey is supposed to be?

It is possible to complete that journey using NR - Epsom Clapham
Junction London Bridge Thameslink to Kings Cross Potters Bar. So
I suppose one was +Tube and the other wasn't.

Finsbury Park does not have tube barriers, so I suppose that could
have something to do with it. There's a similar post of a person who
went from Paddington(?) to Clapham Junction without the + using tube
one way, but wouldn't allow him through the barriers the other way.

I suspect the non-tube route is actually EpsomCLJWillesden
JctHighbury&IsFinsbury ParkPotters Bar. Or would that be 'not
London'?

There is a London Terminals to Brentford fare, route Any P. There is
also a fare route 'Hackney Wick' Work that one out!

Looks like NRE are anticipating the arrival of the ELL extension a
little early

Woolwich Ferry and some fond reminiscences about the NLL?

I've posted this before, but if you buy a ticket at Paddington to
Clapham Junction, it gets printed as a "London Terminals" to Clapham
Junction, price £2.10 (£1.40 with a goldcard), and it works in the
tube barriers at Paddington and Waterloo.

The screen specifically states "London Paddington to Clapham
Junction", route "any permitted", for the avoidance of any doubt. No
maltese cross though.

The only way of doing that by NR with no tube, no doubling back and no
inter-station walk is via GWML to Reading and then SWT to Clapham Jn.

I'll leave it to someone else to try doing a break of journey in
Reading with that ticket!

Sounds like a challenge. Any Barriers at Reading?

That's not the only way! What about changing at Exeter St. Davids?

(or Bristol TM, or Bristol TM and Weymouth, or even Reading and
Basingstoke...??)

There's a rule which says that you cannot pass any station (where the
train stops) which buying a ticket to would cost more than buying a
ticket to the destination station. The doubling back is a deviation of
this rule. It stops people buying a ticket from Birmingham to London
via Edinburgh, even if the same track isn't covered twice.

STD Single, PAD CLJ = £5.10
STD Single, PAD RDG = £15.60

Therefore going via Reading is not an option, NRE says you're expected
to use the tube.
