(eg Oxford Circus from Cambridge via Kings Cross, where the bit from
Hadley Wood is 'duplicated'). But the exact same Travelcard would
allow a trip to Kings Cross, then out the other side (say to Croydon
or slightly further). There's no double-counting in the latter.

There is, because the Travelcard is valid for unlimited journeys, so
that you do two such journeys is irrelevant to whether the first is
duplicated or not.

Does that mean you are now agreeing with me that Outboundary Travelcards
aren't cheaper on account of holders having "two tickets" to travel on
that part of their route from the boundary to the centre?

Yes, the heat wasn't good. I suppose we shouldn't complain when we have rare
good weather. Daughter complained of feeling sick on the RTW bus too.

No, because I posted the prices from MKC, where they can be seen to
be cheaper than an Anytime Day Return.

You are trolling.

What's your theory why they are cheaper, if not the "double counting"
you mentioned earlier, but now seem to be retreating from.

They are cheaper because of the double counting on the main
inbound/outbound journey. What you do on arrival is irrelevant
because the Travelcard offers unlimited travel - it is the SDR that
is discounted because you are not paying for all the way in, just to
BZ6.

So your "committee" is just a bunch of managers

May I suggest that the use of the word committee here is confusing given
that TfL is a politically controlled animal - it strongly suggests
political involvement in the decision making.

I have no idea why you think that.

Because you presented "you'll have to get it past..." as some
insurmountable boundary

Not insurmountable, just necessary.

Looking back you used the term "extremely difficult".

Which isn't insurmountable. The difficulty partly arises from finding
someone prepared to be sufficient of a champion for the change.

The widely varying prices for Travelcards as compared to London Terminals
Day Returns suggests that is not how things are calculated.

Are there any where it is more expensive? If not, my opinion stands.
