I don't understand your point here. If you get the direct Central Line train, you'll be charged the Tube fare; if you touch out of Chiltern and into LU at Marylebone, then you'll be charged the Tube+NR fare. That's straightforward, simple, and doesn't require any effort on your part to be charged the right fare. Just that a system has just been introduced whereby you are assumed to have gone the more expensive way unless you touch on the cheaper route. This is going to be reversed in some situations, such as the Ruislip one. Travelling via London Euston NR/LU OSI has always attracted a premium over avoiding the explicit Z1 touch. (Up until recently, when travelling in the middle of the day it was cheaper to walk to KX to join the underground than to continue your journey at Euston as going to KX forced two separate journeys) I'm not sure what happens now - theres a route validator at Willseden Junction but there are routes from say Harrow and Wealdstone to not Z1 via the Bakerloo line that didn't require a touch in Z1 so were charged not Z1. 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/ |
