Default Why is LU separate from National Rail?

"The rationalisation of the fares systems of both networks would be
a major advantage" ...to TfL I assume. I am sure this will mean all sorts
of Cheap Day Deturn tickets and rail-only season tickets etc. disappear and
be replaced with higher 'zonal' fares or Travelcards.


Interesting point - I notice that LT fares apply to all Bakerloo Line
destinations except if travelling to/from Harrow & Wealdstone, in
which case NR's rate applies between Kenton and Harrow & Wealdstone;
wonder if this bit is cheaper/dearer per mile? Also, do separate NR
and LU fares exist between, say, Amersham and Harrow-on-the-Hill, and
if so, which is cheaper?
