Oh excellent news about Travelcards – that’ll make a change to the inflation-busting rises in previous years
Thanks
Wait. Are the new fares even published yet, and what day do they start? All I can find is press reports with a handful of example fares
I want to renew my annual travelcard, and it’s still showing the old prices one month away (…would I lock in the old price I pay now?!)
Finally…
Details here. Was there a press release? I’ve been googling every day to find it:
https://tfl.gov.uk/campaign/new-faresNow to decide whether to get a travel card or PAYG… Downside of PAYG is that my credit card hates it, and constantly declines suspicious duplicate TfL pending holds and daily cap transactions… which leads to regular double-charging as TfL claws back unpaid fares
Any news on non-single TfL-only fares within zone 6? Specifically travelcard prices and daily/weekly/monthly caps – are they are frozen too, or does nobody know yet?
That’s amazing, I never knew that option existed!
Two quick follow up questions:
– it is only available on LU machines from boundary to certain stations – i.e. is it just Lizzie Line, or also places like Gatwick, and up and down Thameslink
– is it available in reverse? Can you buy from Gatwick to Z2 boundary with or without railcard from a Gatwick machine, or do you need to do that awkward “buy a ticket to Clapham Junction because that’s the only station you can think of in Zone 2” thing?
Ah thanks for that – ok, I had assumed that NR and Underground fares were the same if they covered the same zones, but they’re clearly not! I guess my calculation would have been right if I had used purely Underground from London Bridge to Richmond, as the extension fares are cheaper and below the cost of the through ticket (£4.30)
Out of interest, is there a published list of extension ticket prices, as it all seems to be a black box of mystery, and not available on the TfL website?
And next time I’ll remember to do paper tickets for the evening peak on NR, as that’s cheaper with Gold Card in this case – should’ve read your article first!
Thanks again Mike
