If you go by train, then the following fares apply, according to

Standard Day Single rte Clapham Junction Not London: £3.40
Cheap Day Single rte Kensington Olympia: £4.20
Standard Day Single rte Kensington Olympia: £4.60
Cheap Day Single rte Any Permitted: £4.80
Standard Day Single rte Fulham Broadway: £5.00
Standard Day Single rte Any Permitted: £5.30
First Day Single rte Kensington Olympia: £6.00

The National Fares Manual *only* gives the route Clapham Junction Not
London fares. The others are the fares from Willesden Junction, as Kenny
O is a "related station".


Thanks. That makes 9 possible single fares when LUL (Oystercard and
non-Oystercard) are added in. Is this a record for a 7 mile journey?

For fun, you could add in the 49 bus for £0.80 off peak Oyster, £1.00
morning peak Oyster, £1.50 cash... (and about an hour).

I hadn't realised that it was possible to find out the routeing
information on the web - I assumed that Qjump's link which says "There
may be alternative, slower routes with cheaper tickets" wouldn't do
anything if there wasn't a slower route but now I see that's where they
hide the routeing info.

Qjump also shows a Standard Day Single rte Clapham Junction Not London
for £1.80, but with no validity on any trains!

The fares on this route seem pretty screwed up to me. I think that
(unless I need a travelcard that day) I'll be sticking to the tube for
£1.00 single on Oystercard and foregoing the excitement of guessing
whether a tube or NR train will go next.

Will the fares for this journey be rationalised when the Mayor takes
over Silverlink?

Well, you'll be able to get from Olympia to Clapham Junction on your
prepay for £1, but not from CJ to Wimbledon!
