Thanks. Meanwhile, I am trying to look for the TfW/WMR/LNR ticket from Manchester to Euston on the forum site, but seems that can't be generated even with intensive search option, for 6th May travel.

I was trying to get a CrossCountry ticket from Manchester Pic to Stafford on 6th May, at 17:03/17:25. It's rather strange that forum site / trainsplit couldn't offer that train in any option (best value / fastest / cheapest).

I will try to avoid escalations at barriers, which HS gateline staff are quite similar to the level of Euston West Coast dragons or “clever” tickets. Though, the destination is also not via Abbey Wood EL, which fare is set by Southeastern.

For most stations in Sussex, yes it is. But the lowest fares that can be searched on Brafares don’t allow via London (terminals)

I have looked into the mileage of each national rail section, while the journey involved only have a non NR interchange link between the two Stratford stations. The station itself don’t get direct access to London Bridge NR. Meanwhile, Stratford EL to Whitechapel EL and Liverpool Street EL is...

Ah, sorry about that. I think the issue here is likely, DfT dictated that noone will go not via zone 1, this situations happen more often on Southeastern area than Southern or Thameslink area which more non zone 1 options are available.

If taking the DLR, that may trigger a mixed mode journey, if OP has travelled on NR via zone 1.

If it is wholly within London zone 1-6, 99% of the case, oyster / contactless PAYG would be cheaper. But beyond that, would need to be case by case basis, especially on routes that have super off peak fares.

I think OP got caught up in the interchange between Euston LU and Euston Square LU, which is a out of station interchange. In terms of Cross London journey involving London Underground, there are no concept of permitted route but reasonable route which often subject to various interpretations...

I am planning to do a journey from station in Sussex to southeast London, north of St John's on this Saturday. Upon checking the journey planner on that day, there are not journeys can be appeared on Journey Planners on any related operators. I know the apparent route, but I find that via...

If the cards are from the State, got to be a little cautious here, as some of the LU barrier rejected cards at touristic stations are those from the states for being blocked by the banks in the second+ time of the usage, or needing to do pin+chip transactions elsewhere to unblock. So if using...

COVID was not the major reason making TL to put on map, but a factor that caused it to be put earlier. As mentioned later in the paragraph, it was for the Northern Line Bank branch closure capacity relief, so that there will be no need to provide shuttle bus to connect Kings Cross to London...

The ticket office of Hex would not sell oystercard. As I have remembered, there are new style TfL ticket machines (blue coloured) in the concourse of Heathrow Central Rail Station, but not certain about whether they do sell oystercard as like in other LU stations. Note: the "deposit" of...

That's good. I had couple of cases years ago for doing over circuitous journey by oystercard and would require backend calculation overnight to return the fare. PlusPoint on contactless is that they need to do the fare calculation overnight so im principle should be accurate. (Note: if...

The charge is a zone 1-5 journey, on the system's assumption that you go via Harrow On the Hill which is the lowest zone that connects to LU within barrier. But it's uncertain about whether it's on a London Underground fare scale of £3.50 or mixed NR-LU scale of £5.60. Meanwhile, oystercard...
