If you use the Fare Finder for the Gatwick – Victoria NR fare, it shows the Gatwick Express fare separately.
If you search for Gatwick to Oxford Circus, the Gatwick Express is not mentioned and the only fare shown is the much cheaper non-Gatwick Express one.
If you travelled to Oxford Circus via the Gatwick Express, would you really be charged the cheaper fare?
Hi Reg,
Sadly not. The Gatwick Express will be charged separately at full price, then there will be a zone 1 tube fare.
Thanks Mike – I guessed that would be the case.
Any idea why the TfL data doesn’t mention the Gatwìck Express for such a journey? It must catch people out.
I suspect it would be because Gatwick Express is a single journey in and of itself. Fares for onward travel aren’t combined with it as they are for other journeys just being charged separately. It’s a GatEx fare and a TfL single as Mike says.
As the TfL site only shows single journey fares, even when made up of lots of legs, the GatEx/LU combination being charged separately don’t meet the ‘single fare’ criteria so aren’t shown. Potentially confusing, as you say.
