You can also get to Bethnal Green without going to Z3, changing at Bow

Ah right. *That messes up my query. *I wonder if there is another

Make the destination Hackney Wick instead of Bethnal Green.

Engineering works have inhibited my ability to test this out (and
denied me an opportunity for some tourism in Hackney) but I think that
the only way it could be done in zone 1 and 2 only, without going
through a barrier (thus invalidating the experiment), would be via
Olympia and might take too long, specially with all the changes,
adding an interesting complication if it did decide to asume a PAYG
extension.

Or possibly via Bakerloo and Willesden Junction if that doesn't
involve a barrier, but I can't remember. *I am assuming that there is
definitely one at Highbury and Islington.

There isn't. You can pass freely between the NLL, Vic, and GN&C; the
only barriers are at the exit to the street.

I was forgetting that PAYG had already been accepted on NLL, and
assumed a legacy barrier.


My prediction is that it will charge the greater fare of Origin - Bank
and Origin - Hackney Wick, which would be the latter if you have a Z12
Travelcard, or the former if you just have PAYG.- Hide quoted text -
