WTF? I mean really, WTF? Is this a misprint I wonder? (If it isn't, I
can see why some could possibly argue about the presence or
otherwise of the rover...

Near Barking presumably?

Free in the Metro, an optional self adhesive river overlay, or a blue
highlighter...

People are getting all hung up about the river, but the much more
serious and sinister issue is that this is paving the way for the
abolition of travelcards and the restoration (already under way) of
point to point fares calculated by formulas not available to the
public.

A conspiracy theory too far, me thinks. Nowadays all rail fares
(whether Tube or mainline) are calculated on a zonal basis, which is a
significant change from yesteryear. The notion that the 'march to
zonality' is somehow going to be turned back now is somewhere between
East Ham and Upney (sorry!).

I do get a bit of why you say that, but I wouldn't go along with the
notion that it's a massive sinister plot.
