And why does a ticket (e.g. a Saver Return) to Putney (SWT) cost so
much
more than one to Underground Zones 1 and 2?

That annoys me too! I think to Putney we pay three bits:
1. - London
2. Cross London tube transfer
3. London - Putney

Wheras to East Putney we pay two bits:
1. - London
2. Cross London tube transfer

It's an irritating pricing structure because there are many journeys
from the Putney area to Central London which are much quicker and much
less congested as Train + Tube rather than Tube + Tube + Tube. But
the quicker and less congested one costs about twice as much

Indeed. So when is Ken going to sort this out?



When(/if) he gets given any kind of power over the NR fare structure.
Obviously TfL would prefer all rail travel within the zones to be ticketed
in the same way as Tube/DLR, but the London TOCs aren't keen on this...
