Seems to be the same conundrum as my West Brompton - Wimbledon upthread.

Presumably it'll be handled as the possibly-via-Z1 journeys are now,
i.e. it'll be assumed you took the quickest and most direct route, and
if there is a longer route that is cheaper, an interchange validator
will be provided to allow you to claim the cheaper fare.

Can't see that being an issue, I'm thinking of District directly or LO/SWT
via Clapham Junction, both are Z2-Z3 journeys. A default 'via Z1' fare
would
be rather odd...

I wasn't suggesting it would be charged as via Z1. I was suggesting
that the default fare would be the District one, and if the Clapham
Junction route were cheaper, a route validator would be provided there
to allow passengers to claim the cheaper fare.

ISWYM now, thanks. On the face of it. the route above would intuitively
need to deal with three options; District only (direct at TfL rate),
Overground + SWT (TfL+NR) , and SN + SWT(NR)?

But AIUI from the fare tables, the latter options ought to be more expensive
than the direct, so if differentiation was to be achieved with a route
validator, why would anyone bother?
