There seems to bee some special 'Overground Only' fares. If one extends
the journey to anywhere else in Z1 it's 5.50.

Adding the better off-peak times it might be a good idea to break a
journey at Euston.

You have to "break" a journey at Euston because there are gates to
exit the overground before you can enter the underground.

So if you travelled at 9.31am, Watford Junction to Moorgate you'd be
offpeak for this journey for the overground bit but peak for the
underground bit.

Presumably you'll be charged two singles 3.00 + 1.50 for a total of
4.50

But if you travelled at 9.29 you'd be charged one WJ-Z1 single for
6.00

That's an out of station interchange - so it counts as one single
journey. To really break the journey into two separate bits it might be
necessary to use two oysters (and lose the cap), wait long enough (how
long?) or add a short bus journey (if it's covered by the cap). All not
very good.

I think they will always charge for WJ-Z1.

He He. This could be fun for people who have lots of time and not much
money.

Watford Junction to Z1 changing at Willesden Junction (say for example
because you want the Bakerloo line)

Wat - Wil 3.50/1.00
Wil - Z1 2.00/1.50

Wat - Z1 6.00/3.50

Wat - Euston 5.50/3.00

So this is a huge saving for someone travelling after 9.30 wanting to
go to Z1. 1.00+2.00 to Z1 as compared to 3.00+1.50

Ha!

Bushey to Euston (London Underground) is 5.50. Infact it appears
Bushey to any Z1 station is 5.50, it's just Bushey to Euston (London
Overground) is 4.50. So I guess the website is wrong.

Ok.

It appears that all fares to Euston Overground are getting cheaper
(except from WJ).

Harrow and Wealdstone to Euston will be 3.00.
H&W to Z1 will be 3.50

Currently it's 3.50 regardless.

Watford Junction to Z1 is going up. Currently it's 5.50. It will be
6.00.

WJ to Euston is staying the same at 5.50

Just to confirm, there do indeed appear to be special PAYG fares to
Euston Overground. This morning I travelled from Carpenders Park (Z7)
to Euston and it cost 3.50, cheaper than the advertised Z7-1 PAYG cost
of 4.50.

Before Christmas this journey cost me 4.50, and it cost no more to
continue the journey to a Z1 tube station. However, it means it is now
cheaper to continue your journey by bus from Euston for an extra 90p
than to continue on the tube, which takes you up to the Z7-1 cost of
4.50.

Why are these fares not advertised in the new fares leaflet?
