I've just tried to plan a journey for tomorrow from Crayford to Norwood Junction and return. Engineering work between Sidcup and Lewisham means that the fastest route is via Dartford. This is not a permitted route on a single ticket so the planner gives me 5 options but won't let me select any...

https://oysterfares.com/reading-to-zone-1-thousands-overcharged-in-fares-blunder/ Briefly, the PAYG fares between Reading and zone 1 Underground stations were incorrectly entered in the system last March and people have been overcharged 30p (peak) or 40p (off-peak) each way. Those who hit the...

So, this afternoon I went to the Crystal Palace vs Man City game at Selhurst Park. Afterwards I got into Norwood Junction at 1710 and checked the departure screens. The next train on P3 was a Thameslink to Peterborough due at 1719 and next stop London Bridge. But the next train on P1 was also...

I've just been past the TVM at Crayford and noticed a sticker advising the above. Is this an isolated incident or widespread? It has been known that new notes would be issued for ages and I'm sure TfL have ensured their machines are all capable, so is this someone dropping a ball at TOCs?

At Euston. Was on 2009 LNWR service to Milton Keynes which departed and then abruptly stopped. After a short while the driver announced that we would be returning to the platform. Once there we were told it was cancelled due to a police investigation at Harrow & Wealdstone.

Quick question. Is it permissable to use an annual season ticket (zone 1-2 travelcard) with an evening out single from Putney (zone 2/3) as long as the train calls at Putney so it would be possible to board there as opposed to Waterloo or Clapham Junction? Further complication is that the train...

Thanks to a very persistent user of my forum, TfL have released the data for maximum journey times for all PAYG journeys. I have incorporated these into the results for the fare finder.

Inside a pic train after entering the tunnel at Barons Court a few minutes ago. Lights were turned on at Earls Court.

Walking past Crayford Station this afternoon had me wondering whether the signage is compliant with the PF regulations. You'll notice 3 signs along the side of the building, but when the ticket office is closed you don't walk past any of them unless you have come from the car park.

I'm currently making regular trips to Watford Junction, and because my 60+ Oyster card is not valid on LNWR beyond zone 6 I change between Overground and LNWR at H&W each way. I've noticed an issue with the announcements on platform 6. When a London train is approaching the platform it is...

Apologies if this has already been mentioned but I notice a mayoral decision was published on Thursday (separate to the fares freeze one) saying the TfL penalty fares would be increasing to the same £100/£50 as on the rest of the National Rail network from March 3rd 2024...

While researching another problem I've stumbled upon an odd anomaly with day travelcards and railcards. Brentwood to zones 1-6 AAA 7-9 off-peak is £16.20. With a railcard that comes down to £10.60. Cheshunt to zones 1-6 AAA 7-8 off-peak is £16.20, but the railcard price is £10.65. Same with...

Someone on my site has hit an issue with a day travelcard issued on a Greater Anglia smartcard for Amersham to zones 1-6. It worked fine at all Met stations except Chesham, Croxley and Watford (the ones not on the direct route from Amersham). It didn't work at Brentwood either. They said: Has...

A subtle and not published change to the PAYG fares will hit some commuters. https://oysterfares.com/fare-changes-via-gatwick-airport/

All PAYG fares on both LU and EL starting or ending at any of the three Heathrow stations and involving any travel in zone 1 will become Anytime at the current Peak rate from Sunday. At the same time the Oyster card fee will rise from £5 to £7 and will cease to be refundable. More info on my...

A friend of mine from Hull was making a journey to Southend today. The itinerary was split into Hull to King's Cross, King's Cross to Fenchurch Street by Underground, and Fenchurch Street to Southend. By chance we spoke while they were on the first leg and they seemed quite surprised to learn...

I have it on very good authority that two new interchanges for cross-London travel will be added later in September. Battersea Park - Battersea Power Station Queenstown Road - Battersea Power Station

I was looking up fares for a visitor to my site and it doesn't appear as though Thameslink will sell tickets to Waterloo East without the Underground. Obviously Waterloo East is not in the London Thameslink group, but you don't use the Underground. Is it valid to use such a ticket all the way...

I'm considering travelling to Amersham on Saturday. If I miss the last direct return train (1809) and have to take the replacement bus to Gerrards Cross, will it be possible to still pay using Oyster or Contactless? Touching in at Amersham would be possible, but will I be allowed into Gerrards...
