Well, not entirely. Some other railway systems seem to manage to
define a base tariff (e.g for a season ticket), which can also be used
on premium trains by purchasing a one-off supplement per use.

I'm not sure how you'd tell an Oyster reader what your wishes were in
this regard, though.
I wonder if this went through and Chiltern reducing their serving of TFL
LU stations if there would still be priority given to Chiltern trains on
the track, if TFL LU want to make things difficult they can and delay
chiltern affecting their performance ratings.

Just a thought
