On a slightly related note, the TfL fare finder appears to return no
fares for Richmond - Clapham Junction journeys.
I wonder what would be charged for an actual PAYG journey (via
Willesden Junction or Earls Court and West Brompton.)


The TfL Fare finder also returns no fares for Kew Gardens - CJ and
Gunnersbury - CJ.


The ticket office at Kew Gardens will sell you a ticket from there to
Waterloo via Richmond[1], so I assume they'll sell you one to CJ by the same
route.

[1] It's marginally quicker, but more expensive than District -
Jubbly/Bakerloo/Northern



I'm in no doubt that they would - indeed the list of through fare
prices (aka Tube/Train fares in the internal parlance) is he
http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tickets/faresa...ares/2892.aspx

The underlying point that I was picking up on was whether a number of
fares have been purposefully excluded from the public TfL Fare finder
so as to dissuade people using Oyster PAYG on routes on which it is
not valid, such as Kew Gardens via Richmond to Clapham Jn (i.e. most
of the way on SWT). I'm not sure if Matthew Dickinson had that in mind
when he mentioned this though!

I actually suspect that their omission from the Fare finder is just a
simple mistake - it would seem to be the most likely explanation.
