Congestion charging hits the rails

PREMIUM ROUTES
Likely candidates for peak pricing:
Liverpool Street to Chelmsford
St Albans to King's Cross
KX Thameslink, perhaps
Elephant and Castle to Blackfriars
East Croydon and Tulse Hill to Blackfriars/London Bridge
Twyford and Maidenhead to Paddington
Sevenoaks to Charing Cross/Cannon Street
That's a very interesting list. Are they really the busiest routes in
the country? (As a daily customer of Thameslink between Tulse Hill and
Blackfriars I can well believe it, but Maidenhead to Paddington?)
I think you'll find they are a combination of "most overcrowded" (given
the number of trains, which may not be very great) and "with commuters
who can afford to pay more".
