Why is the fare from Warren Street more expensive than Euston? Both are zone one stations and all travel was on a Saturday at off-peak times.
The Euston fare is what I’d expect to pay for a National Rail ticket Harlow to Tottenham Hale and a seperate contactless TfL fare for Tottenham Hale to zone one, so not sure why Warren Street is more.
Possibly some mess has happened again.

The paper fare is £11.90 but it seems that the contactless fare is intended to be £11.20
Apologies, I missed this thread originally.
The Euston (LU) fare is an error, it should be £11.90. It’s unlikely to get corrected before next March though.
Thanks, I’ll stop using contactless and go to e-ticket Harlow to Tottenham Hale (£8.10) and then TfL contactless on the Underground (£3.30) as it works out 50p cheaper overall.
Does seem strange the off-peak is much cheaper by splitting the National Rail and Underground parts, compared to the peak where it was the same (11.20 + 3.80 by splitting vs £15 by contactless) but since the TfL price increase its now 10p more to split (11.20 + 3.90).
Had another oddity.
Highbury & Islington to Harlow Town is £13.90, where I would expect it to be £11.90 same as other Zone123 to Harlow off-peak fares. Strange that Highbury & Islington is priced higher than zone 1.
But I got a cap applied that day anyway.
Harlow to Zone 1 peak was £15
Then a separate zone 1 underground peak £3.10
Finally Highbury & Islington (via Tottenham Hale on Victoria line) was £13.90 (I expected £11.90) but capped to £11.20This means I paid £29.30 for the day, when I was expecting £30.
Hi Jon,
Pricing to Victoria line stations is completely screwed up. Harlow to Seven Sisters is £8.10 off-peak, to Tottenham Hale is the same regardless of whether you go direct or via Seven Sisters, Blackhorse Road is £13.90 while Walthamstow Central is £8.70. It looks like the wrong tube addon is being used in some cases, assuming that you will go via zone 1 rather than direct. It’s probably one to raise with Greater Anglia as they set the fares.
Also, the cap is likely a zone 1-2 or zone 1-3 cap plus relevant extension fares.
