Fenchurch Street NR exit 15:32

I deliberately phrased my points as queries because of my incomplete
knowledge of the subject and I think I may well have been wise to do

so as I
now believe the answer to point 1) may well actually be NO. *Looking

athttp://www.dragondark.co.uk/osi/osi.pdf, which gives a recent list of
out of
station interchanges (and is consistent with other lists), there is

an OSI
shown between Fenchurch Street and Liverpool Street NR, but there is

NOT one
between Fenchurch Street and Liverpool Street LU. *It seems if you

are
changing to the underground from Fenchurch Street you are actually

expected
to use Aldgate, Bank, Monument or Tower Hill.


So the question arises as to what would be charged if you first entered
Liverpool Street NR instead (which is an 40 min OSI) then immediately
out and enter Liverpool Street LU (20 min OSI).
