"The rationalisation of the fares systems of both networks would be

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?

As for Harrow & Wealdstone to Kenton, the NR single (SDS) price is £1.70
whereas an LU zonal single would be £1.50 (£1.30 Oyster weekdays,
£1.00 weekends). A CDR is £2.00 where a normal LU fare would be £3.00.
(SDR is £2.90).

If you so desired, you could also buy a First Day Return between these
two stations, a journey of around 5 minutes each way, for £16.80.

Harrow and Wealdstone is, I believe, excluded as it is a priced station
used for the compilation of other NR fares on the line out of Euston.
Therefore if it went to the TfL farescale all fares would probably fall
thus making the revenue compensation payable to Silverlink huge and an
inappropriate use of TfL's money.

Oyster pre-pay is valid to Harrow and Wealdstone though so you can get
the discounted rates.
