Bit of an odd one, but this morning I got on the Jubilee line at Swiss
Cottage, got off at Baker Street, and it only charged me £1.60 for the
journey. Baker St to Stockwell and Gloucester Road to Belsize Park both
went in as £2.

Any ideas?!


I would guess that Swiss Cottage to Baker Street is a special short-hop
fare. Some journeys which only just go into Zone 1 are charged at a
lower price (the Z1 single fare). For example, Gloucester Road or High
Street Kensington to Fulham Broadway or West Brompton are short hop
£1.60 fares.

Are these special short hop fare rules published anywhere?

Only on the fare charts for the stations concerned.

Bizarre.....

But of course, the fare chart would show the 2004 price, not the 2003 one!

Thats great
Congratulations
Now you and your friends are voluntarily taking part in the
governments biggest experiment. You have the predecessor to ID cards.
LUL know exactly where you are as the cards are wireless radio
devices. So next time you pop to the shops remember who is
watching....

Except the card only trigers in close proximity to readers, so the
ability to track you is pretty slim....
