What physical evidence contradicts the impression that the NR and TFL
lines are integrated?

We're talking about integrated pricing.


In your opinion. Given the ludicrous price hike for paper tickets I
wouldn't be so sure.

But do you have any evidence?

So that fares are the same from A-B [eg Ealing Broadway to Paddington]
irrespective of which trains you get.

The trains are run by different companies.

I notice (as would some tourists) that London's Red Busses seem to be
operated by many different companies. So is it correct to assume that
they all charge different fares for identical routes?

No They show a LT roundel (or whatever its called)


And how is a tourist to know that the District and Central lines aren't
two different companies?


They are the London Underground as even the thickest of tourists can
tell :-)



They can charge different amounts - and do.

Then they should have different routes/gates to get in and out of the
station.

Why? Do different airlines have different routes into the airport?


Just because tfl decided to go for Oystercards
doesn't mean the TOCs should be forced to as well.

So why are they installed at Ealing Broadway - a NR-TOC operated
station?

They are for travelcards - as you well know. :-)
