Yesterday my wife made a slightly unusual set of journeys, namely:
Lee (Z3) to Gatwick Airport – NR only via London Bridge – Morning peak – £16.50
Gatwick Airport to Kidbrooke (Z3) – NR only via London Bridge – Off-peak – £9.00
Lee to London Bridge – Evening peak therefore off-peak due to ending in Zone 1 – £3.10
London Bridge to Lee – Peak – £4.00
Total £32.60For this she has however been charged £31.50.
I think it should have been charged as a zone 1-3 anytime cap of £8.70, plus a peak Zone 4 to Gatwick NR £9.40, plus an off peak Gatwick to zone 4 NR £6.90, coming to £25 even.
Is this “look-back” likely to resolve itself and refund in a few days, or do we need to contact TfL?
Hi Thomas,
Was this a contactless card?
There probably isn’t any refund due because extension fares to Gatwick are not just simply the zones covered. You may remember the article Gatwick The Truth on here a few years back. Because of the bonkers cheap fare from East Croydon to Gatwick the system never charged the full London to Gatwick return fare. DfT/GTR whinged and thus the CPC extension being more than the Oyster extension concept was born.
