Best tickets for Cambridge-Tolworth via Putney?
 

It is ridiculous to have to go from Putney via
Clapham Junction to avid the rip-off. This will presumably go when proper
zonal fares are finally adopted.

Sorry to chime in late but you could just walk out of Putney station and
get two buses..

Take the Bus 85 towards Kingston
Change at Roehampton Vale Asda
Take the Bus 265 towards Tolworth Red Lion
Journey time 57 minutes.

Its 1.80, on Oyster PAYG avoids Clapham Junction, and indeed Wimbledon.

These buses are very frequent.

I did almost this the other day from White City to New Malden on my
Oyster PAYG and was completely amazed how fast it was - less than an
hour door to door. The bus sliced through the traffic and the A3 despite
a little backwater circle in Roehampton. It was almost as quick as
driving it myself.

The train journey took less than 40 minutes. I wouldn't trust buses I
didn't know pretty well to get me anywhere in the peaks.
