Having just perused the London Connections map I noted the
interesting
complication that is called Tramlink. This links up various TOC lines
and operates on a completely different charging basis. I wonder how
PAYG
is going to deal with that for "through" journeys!

Since, AFAIK, only travelcards and not through tickets from say Purley
to Wimbledon are currently valid via Tramlink, I suppose this would be
treated as though Tramlink was a tfl bus ?

Or are there through fares left over from when Tramlink was a rail link
?

I understood there were through fares via Croydon and via Wimbledon
(both tube and NR). The range is / was limited but they were there when
Tramlink started. It's possible that I am out of date and they have been
withdrawn either through lack of use or because of the charging system
used on Tramlink (it effectively has its own zone and is charged at the
bus fare rate).
