I'd actually just emailed the TfL press office to see if they could get hold of any more details for me (as they're normally pretty helpful) before i saw this, so if i get any info in response i'll update.

writes I would've thought a fairly good place to start would be the list of stations that are valid for cross-London transfer for National Rail ticketing purposes, as that'll give a vague idea. That's a surprisingly long list. Does anyone know: if you have a national rail ticket coded for cross-London travel will it work at any of these, or just the two (typically) that are adjacent to the appropriate national rail termini? E.g. if you are going from say Cambridge to Bristol, but upon arriving at King's Cross you decide to avoid the over-crowded tube station by walking to Euston Square, will the ticket work there?

Does anyone know: if you have a national rail ticket coded for
cross-London travel will it work at any of these, or just the two (typically) that are adjacent to the appropriate national rail termini? It's my belief, based on experience and some knowledge of the underlying software, that any NR ticket with cross-London validity works for any (one) journey between any two of these stations. If the tickets were to be restricted to a truly 'appropriate' journey, either the ticket would have to list (on its magstripe) all the NR stations 'appropriate' to both ends of the cross-London journey, or the barrier would have to be able to deduce that information, given the (NR) endpoints of the journey. The former would (in extreme cases) need more capacity on the magstripe than exists, and the latter would probably require the barrier to have access to the entire routing guide. By 'extreme cases' I mean something like Birmingham to East Croydon, where you could arrive at any of several London stations and travel to any of several others. If you wanted to make it truly 'appropriate' then the validity of the ticket on LU would have to depend on which NR terminus you actually arrived at, and validity on NR leaving London would have to depend on where you left LU (eg if you got off the tube at Charing Cross, then it would be 'inappropriate' to take an NR train from Victoria). I'm quite sure that isn't the case. There remains of course the possibility that even though the barriers allow it, the ticket isn't actually valid for the journey.

If you do A-B1 then B2-C, you'll be charged the A-C fare, even if that's more then A-B plus B-C (though I don't think it refunds you if A-C costs less than A-B).

I suppose i could just go and look at my Oyster history! You're charged for one. Even if you were doing X - Euston Square walk Euston - Watford Junction then it would be one. I got bitten by this last Thursday. I had the day off and travelled into London around 10am. Without thinking I took the tube to Charing Cross instead of walking and got the train back (I walked back but it was after 7pm). Kerching. That's 3GBP for Euston-Charing Cross because Watford Junction-Zone1 at that time of day is 6GBP even though WJ-Euston is 3GBP and Euston-Zone1 is 1.50GBP. So much for always being charged the cheapest fare on PAYG. (I was travelling with my partner - I wonder whether if we'd swapped cards in Euston then they'd have to give me the 1.50GBP back - that's then clearly two separate journeys on each card by two different people and swapping PAYG cards is allowed.) I'll try taking it up with TfL but last time I had something like this I got an email acknowledgement but nothing futher at all (I asked for a reply by letter as well as email - maybe that was a mistake) Tim. -- God said, "div D = rho, div B = 0, curl E = - @B/@t, curl H = J + @D/@t," and there was light. http://www.woodall.me.uk/ http://www.locofungus.btinternet.co.uk/ |

The following interests me: London Fenchurch Street Aldgate 30 London Fenchurch Street Bank 30 London Fenchurch Street Monument 30 London Fenchurch Street Tower Gateway 30 London Fenchurch Street Tower Hill 30 The example above illustrates that 30 minutes is the most common budget. A curious exception is White City Wood Lane where 20 is allowed. Tower Hill is obvious; I had found Aldgate, experimentally. I am surprised Bank is allowed. Journey Planner shows a 13 minute walk. Bank to Monument is not shown; I queried that - given maintenance. I am inclined to think there ought to be a super interchange covering Bank, Cannon Street, Mansion House, Monument, Moorgate and probably one or two more while escalators are out for maintenance. Times for interchange are not always symmetrical. e.g. 40 is allowed from Aldgate to London Fenchurch Street. I have also questioned 30 Canary Wharf Heron Quays 10. The information was supplied as 90 rows in an Excel file where each row describes a one way interchange. I will probably recast that as 45 rows, each describing a two way interchange. They don't publicise or guarantee the data will remain true. In my FOI question, I asked for a list of out of station pay as you go interchanges and how long was budgeted for them. I got no answer to my question on the criteria for such interchanges but am satisfied that I now know how to make good use of out of station interchanges. -- Walter Briscoe |

Walter - I suspect there may have a couple of versions of the document
doing the rounds, each based on the specific text of individual FOI requests. To give the background to how I got hold of it, within an hour or so of the one Mike H FOIed landing in my inbox, the one with the times landed in there from the TfL press office themselves. I can only think that they believed (correctly as it turned out) that one of the FOI copies would find its way onto the site anyway, so they might as well be preemptive about it and send a copy themselves - even if only to stop me badgering them about OSI confirmations. Certainly looks to me like the copy they sent me was the "full" version that they'd created for you (i've added your initials to the "thanks" on the post). Not sure if it helps you any, but I asked them if they were happy for me to reprint in full and/or recast the data and they indicated (in writing) that as long as I ran it with the TfL statement that's included in the same post, they'd consider it reasonable usage. If you feel there's any interesting points that should be made based off your studies of the OSI it lists, or have any interpretations of the data that you think would be useful to get out there, then I'd be more than happy to run your conclusions on LR John Bull |

They will try to assemble a list of those interchanges. If they do, I will forward here. They've just followed up to ask me to couch my request for information as a Freedom of Information Act request. Heigh Ho! ;) They answered me, yesterday. Unfortunately, I can't copy the data un the answer as they put the following in the reply: "Brief extracts of the material may be reproduced under the fair dealing provisions of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1998". I think they mistakenly refer to the 1988 Act, but know nothing and may be wrong. It seems you weren't the only one who asked. http://londonreconnections.blogspot....tion-interchan ges-current.html#links I questioned TfL as to whether the following actually are OSI King's Cross St. Pancras Met *LU King's Cross St. Pancras Tube LU 30 King's Cross St. Pancras Tube *LU King's Cross St. Pancras Met LU 30 I can confirm that I had an OSI when I went from Farringdon to Moorgate using King's Cross St. Pancras Met *LU King's Cross St. Pancras Tube LU 30 OTOH, when I went from Euston Square to Euston Square using King's Cross St. Pancras Tube *LU King's Cross St. Pancras Met LU 30 My Oyster record showed a free trip to KXSP and an unstarted journey ending at Euston Square. There, the SAMF (ticket seller) was unable to correct the record and I have not bothered pursuing it with Oyster customer services. I resented the imputation that I had not touched in at KXSP. Times for interchange are not always symmetrical. e.g. 40 is allowed from Aldgate to London Fenchurch Street. That is because of the frequency of trains from Fenchurch Street. If you just miss a 2tph service then you may have to wait 20-25 minutes before the platform of the next train is announced and you can pass through the ticket barriers. So the interchange time has to allow for the worst case scenario. Peter Smyth -- Walter Briscoe- Reawakening this thread reminds me of something I was wondering about. Is Shadwell to Whitechapel currently an OOSI? If it is, does it require a Ł0 touch on the replacement bus? How does it work? |
