I'm touching in at Gunnersbury, taking the London Overground to
Willesden (on my Oyster Z2-3 weekly travelcard) and from there to
Watford Jn where I touch out.

I am no expert, but the Euston Watford local fares are explained as a
special case applicable to the former DC lines route only. So unless
you touch in for PAYG at Willesden Junction, how does the Oyster

where you started the PAYG leg? Clearly Willesden Junction is the
likely change point, but it may not be programmed to assume that.


I agree with that analysis - the thing is that it just isn't very
logical to do this journey via any other route.


Doesn't the special rule for Off-Peak on the Euston line present all sorts
of problems like this, to a much greater extent than the blanket 07:00 -
19:00 "peak"?

What is the fare from Watford Junction to Oxford Circus via Euston leaving
at 10:15? Does the system charge:

a) £ 6.00 (the peak fare from Watford to Oxford Circus) or

b) £ 4.50 (the £3.00 off-peak fare from Watford to Euston [London
Overground]) plus the a Z1 fare, £1.50?
