Surely the most likely route between Kilburn High Road or South Hampstead to other North London Line stations is a direct train, right? The only way via zone 1 while dodging all barriers is to go back to Queen’s Park, change at Oxford Circus then Highbury & Islington. Even for Queen’s Park or Kensal Green, the assumption that the passenger will take a direct train should take precedence over a change in zone 1 for the default route.
Direct trains have run on this route for years already, so there is no excuse for TfL not to set up the fare table to charge correctly on this route.
I made an off-peak journey using my Railcard Oyster from Kilburn High Road to Hackney Central on a direct train. It charged me £1.70 at touching out. The fare finder showed that it is a zone 1-2 fare which is clearly wrong as the Overground train only runs within zone 2.
I’ll wait for a few days and see if there is a refund. If not I’ll contact TfL saying that the fare is wrong.
