TfL Pink Readers - Where To Touch?

[lxfe_mxtterz]

Hi all,

Just a quick question - I'm planning to travel from Wimbledon to Kentish Town tomorrow using TfL contactless, and as I've got some time to burn, I've decided to take the longer route (via Willesden Junction) to save a bit of money.

But I'm struggling to work out where I've got to touch the pink reader(s). As I understand it, there are readers at both West Brompton and Willesden Junction en-route, but which one of these am I supposed to touch, or is it both?

Many thanks.

West Brompton.

You only need to change train there.

The one at West Brompton:

To ensure you are charged the appropriate fare you must touch on the pink card reader if interchanging at West Brompton

Single fare finder

Find fares between any two stations in London

If you use the fare finder, putting in Wimbledon to Kentish Town, scroll down and you'll see alternative fares avoiding Zone 1. It explains about where to use the pink readers to ensure you are charged the lower fare.
