TfL fare information for 2010

I'm grateful and (I think) persuaded. It still feels wrong compared

TfL fare information for 2010


Currently, if you touch in at Homerton and out at Kew Gardens without
any touches in between, it (presumably) charges you the Z2-3 fare.
This must apply even if you change to the Vic at Hi&I...
