I was wondering if SWT was the only TOC affected by new NR Oyster
routes which can also be covered by LU (ie there is already a price
between those stations).


But of course the New Crosses will create similar situations, as do
Wimbledon to Blackfriars, Brixton or Balham to Victoria etc.


Balham isn't so affected by this as there are seperate gatelines, and
no gate free interchange route.


Balham, gateline to the South.

Excellent stuff!

A few years back there were plans for a trial whereby Southern were to
accept Oyster PAYG between Balham and Victoria (i.e. on the NR route),
but nothing came of it.
