I'm frankly bemused by all this, but at present I'll look to use PAYG
on NR for journeys not including Z1, where it makes sense (I don't
usually have a travelcard, so OEP idiocies don't apply).

I've looked at the preliminary fares tables which are in the "Mayoral
Document" and it seems that Off Peak travel from Zones 4/3/2 to Zone 1
on NR is going to be cheaper than the equivalent parallel journey if
it were undertaken on TFL.

e.g Stratford (Zone 3) - Liverpool Street (Zone1)

PAYG Off Peak Single NR : £2.00
PAYG Off Peak Single TFL: £2.40


So it will be cheaper to travel on National Rail, a fact that would
surprise a lot of the average punters who, unless explicitly told,
will remain blissfully unaware !

I'd settle for fares to Putney not being at a premium over fares to East
Putney. They are the same if my amount of London travelling is enough to
justify a Day Travelcard from Cambridge but not otherwise, including when,
like tonight, I'm staying in Putney. With the new FCC fares I expect that
Day Travelcards from Cambridge will become even less likely to be
justified.

Although there was a national announcement about NR fares today it didn't
seem to have reached the FCC web site.
