I had this thought how is the Abbey Wood to Hatton Cross fare calculated?
If you don’t use National rail then it says the fare is £5.10 peak and £3.50 off peak.
However it doesn’t specify the route to be taken for this fare and I assume TfL think that you’d go up to central London on the Elizabeth line and swap to Picadilly line to Hatton Cross.However, what happens if you chose to go to Heathrow T4 on the Elizabeth Line and get the Picadilly line back to Hatton Cross – this to me is also a plausible route to take but would TfL charge you the much higher premium fare for going via the airport as T4 to Hatton Cross is a free journey with an oyster or contactless card?
Or would the fare adjust to the listed £5.10 peak or £3.50 off peak fare when you tap out at Hatton Cross?I’ve never been to Heathrow T4 so I don’t know the layout but I assume you’d need to tap out of the Eliz. line station and into the Picc. Line station?
If not, the question wouldn’t have meaning since the system wouldn’t know you’d been via Heathrow.
If so, I’d be very surprised if there was any sort of out of station interchange functionality that joined your journeys together as Heathrow isn’t an interchange station by any set of criteria. On that basis you’d surely be charged for a journey to Heathrow T4.
Hi Chris,
There are no OSIs between the NR and LU stations at Heathrow, so you’d be ‘charged’ for two journeys, albeit that the second one would be free.
