With the extension of contactless to both Windsor stations (Central and Riverside), has an OSI been set up between them? Should it be? Is it planned? As National Rail Enquiries will give through journey times and (non contactless) fares by this route (e.g. Staines to Slough), I would say it should…
Are there any other such situations, where OSIs should be set up within the ‘Project Oval’ area (outside the zones)? (St Albans and Southend are two that come to mind as possibles)
I’m not aware of any new OSIs. They would need to be asked for by the RDG or DfT, and then fares set up to use them.
Looking at Slough to Staines, currently the via Windsor return fares are £14.70 and £9.20 so the half price singles should be £7.30 and £4.60. The actual single is £8.70 with no off-peak. Adding together the two PAYG single fares gives you £7.50 and £5.50. So not far out in the peak but a bit of a difference off-peak.
Other places which could make sense include Hertford and Dorking, but really anywhere with a walking interchange should be considered.
