Default Rail network in London to adopt zonal fares

The Rail Minister Tom Harris has announced that the National Rail (NR)
network in London is to adopt a zonal fares system. This will apply to
all rail journeys that are wholly within the London Travelcard zones
(that is zones 1 - 6).

Full DfT press release via the Government News Network:

or via shorturl http://tinyurl.com/y8sm6v


My attempt to trim the length of the full URL of that DfT press release
by removing what I thought were extraneous strings on the end obviously
hasn't worked. For reference the full URL of the DfT press release on
the GNN is:

http://www.gnn.gov.uk/environment/fu...partment=False

The tinyurl I gave will however redirect to the full URL given above.

In addition the National Rail website now includes some information
about these fares changes:

And lastly this article on the BBC London website provides a comparison
table of before and after fares:
