Anyone managed to make it work for tube fares for 2011 yet? I get
to a "Page not found" page when I try. National Rail seemed to
work, though, though, suspiciously, the fares look the same as in
2010 and it's not working now.
I realise the National Rail fares I checked (Vauxhall - Putney) were
correct for 2011. The off-peak fare with railcard discount is unchanged
but the peak fare has gone up from £1.30 to £1.50.
I thought it was working with both the 2010 and 2011 figures until about
10 this morning. This may have been coincidence and I may have been
getting information from my browser caches.
I have zapped them now and find:
I open http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tickets/default.aspx.
I click single fare finder which takes me to
http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/
tickets/faresandtickets/farefinder/current/
I enter Aldgate and Barbican and click Show fares.
It comes up with Cash 4.00 and Oyster 1.80. The current Oyster figure is
1.90. (I was waiting for yell.com - I shall add the relevant site to my
'junk before using the net' list in the file hosts. (On my machine, that
file is C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts and I have adclick.net in
it.)
I have reported it to the LU CSC. They acknowledge it as a problem and
will advise when it is fixed. Changing over to a new set of files
requires design. The change over does not seem to have been tested as a
real time issue.
