I only needed 1-2 but presume if I'd selected the 1-6 zones one it still would have been £5? Take a look at the ticket if you've still got it - I'm 99.9% certain it would've been issued as as a zones 1-6 Day Travelcard (indeed when using the Scheidt & Bachmann ticket machines, as soon as you select a Railcard discount then the zones covered jumps from z1&2 to z1-6). And given that Clapham Junction is a London Overground station if I went to the ticket office, would they sell me one for £4.90!? No - the ticket office and ticket machines are run by South West Trains. Furthermore, I rather suspect that if you were to buy a Railcard- discounted Day Travelcard from a London Overground ticket office or ticket machine it too would cost £5.00, as LO use 'National Rail standard' ticket issuing systems. It does seem remarkably daft that LU can't manage to sell these tickets for the same price as 'National Rail' does - it introduces a completely unnecessary confusion factor where there's absolutely no need for one. |
