Bizarre TFL Fare Anomaly

[ed_pete]

I?ve recently travelled to Shoreditch High Street on the Overground a couple of times, both in peak hours. When the journey is started at East Dulwich and I change at Peckham Rye then it costs ?2.60. When I started the journey at Peckham Rye itself it costs ?2.90 ? 30p more. Both were PAYG fares. Absolutely bizarre ? anyone shed any light on the logical reason for this ?

When you start mixing Overground / National Rail fares there is the (very) odd occurance like this.

Shoreditch is in Zone 1

Essentially the National Rail only fare z1-2 is ?2.60

An Overground fare for z1-2 is ?2.90

This journey is, unusually, covering London Overground as a NR journey
