That's going to get interesting - does that mean the maximum Oyster fare
is going to increase (double?) when you neglect to touch out?

Also, is it just me or are the fares slightly confused - London
Terminals to Gatwick is priced at £14/£8 whereas East Croydon is £5..20/£3.

I assume it will price it barrier to barrier on the rail section rather
than start to end points where it's possible that you went via East
Croydon on the way from London Bridge (London Bridge to East Croydon is
£4.90/£3.10)

Oyster fares for stations to Gatwick Airport and the Gatwick Express are now shown on the 2016 fares tab of the TfL single fare finder.

Does TfL cap CPC use at weekly and daily rates?

And it still isn't particularly clear to me - putting in a fare request
from Shadwell to Gatwick Airport Rail Station gives a (peak) fare of
£11.40, with an alternate (peak) fare of £16.20 "Via Zone 1 changing
between London Underground and National Rail at Blackfriars, Cannon
Street, Charing Cross, London Bridge, Victoria, Waterloo or Waterloo East"

Presumably it is expecting a routing of Norwood Jctn-East
Croydon-Gatwick, although unticking Tube on the journey planner does
intriguingly suggest DLR to Bank, walk to Cannon Street, train to London
Bridge and then Thameslink - which fare is that? is the DLR now part of
London Underground? Is BankCannon Street an OOS interchange?

East Croydon to catch an onward service.

DLR has always been on the same fare scale as LU. The fare will be
the more expensive one because you are being routed via Cannon Street.
Yes there is an OSI between Bank and Cannon Street. TfL now publish
an official list rather than keeping it a state secret.

Thanks Paul - I suspected as much (the higher fare bit, the OSI list is
gratefully received as well).

Surely the higher fare is just because the route is via Zone 1? Shadwell is
in Zone 2. The route via East Croydon avoids Zone 1.
