Best tickets for Cambridge-Tolworth via Putney?

Why such an enormous (in percentage terms) premium for the shorter route via LU? No-one? I'm most surprised the fare from East Putney is so high. It's because there's a change of modes involved. Fares for through LU-NR (or vice versa) journeys have for a long time been more expensive than similar journeys that just use LU or NR - it used to be simply the price of the two separate journey legs added together. The new zonal Train Tube Fares were introduced a couple of years back, but these merely continued the trend (they are more expensive than straight Tube paper tickets, which are themselves priced at 'punitive' levels). |
