I think the fare it gives you first is always what you'd be charged if
you didn't touch any barriers or readers along the way, which on some
journeys (like this one) assumes a cheaper route than the most
obvious.

One confusing issue with the farefinder is that the alternative routes
use groups of OSIs or purple validators where not all are sensible.
For example, Willesden Junction to Holland Park gives the interchanges
as "Kensington Olympia, Shepherds Bush or West Brompton". This
grouping always appears even where only one of these would be sensible

Presumably all these trains are still displaying 'do not flush in stations'
notices as well...
People just don't care though.

Good luck cycling tomorrow morning... the roads are an ice-rink. No grit or

Re: OEP

'Might' is correct in that context really, because the requirement for an
OEP only applies if you are extending FROM your travelcard's zones, as far
as we can make out. As an example, if you had a season that covered only
zones 1 and 2, a touch in in zone 4 to travel to zone 6, or back to zone 1,

Re: TfL Farefinder

Er... right. Then maybe it should just explain what it is displaying by
default, eg for the example above it could explicitly say it is for an LO/LU
fare. Then the 'alternative fares' button note could read that other lower
OR higher fares may also be available. Stan's point is valid I think
though, because the typical traveller is probably going to go to Waterloo

The most recent stock with dump-on-the-track bogs is, I'd think, the
early-1990s Class 158.
Or do the Network Turbos have such bogs?

Except that what the journey planner advises in a great many cases has
no relationship at all to what the fare finder may tell you in terms of
routes. You have to manipulate the journey planner options to replicate
what the fares finder tells you. In some cases the fare finder options
