Additional question, while I await replies to the above - if we're re-routed to a more expensive journey due to engineering works (my Journey 2), are we eligible for a refund on the difference? Also, would the original lower-cost route ticket be valid on the more expensive route caused by...

Bought at Brixton Tube on Saturday 25 August at about 0800. It was a pink Tube ticket, bought at the machine. Off peak return to Tunbridge Wells, via London terminals. I used it to get up to London Bridge for the interchange to overground there. Is that enough info? I would have gone overground...

Thank you. These were walk-up fares for an off-peak day return. Seems odd that I was charged the Anytime Day Single charge. One clue might be that I bought my "Journey 2" fare on a Saturday morning at about 8 am at Brixton Tube. I was issued a pink paper ticket and it had the words "OFF PEAK"...

Thank you so much. How come the machine at Brixton Tube charged me £24.40?

I could add that in the era of 'Me Too' and illegal commuter groping during rush hour, working on giving people more personal space is a timely idea and could win political support.

Note that Herne Hill and Brixton are adjacent stations. These are walk-up fares. Journey 1, £16.10: Herne Hill overground (boundary Zone 2 & 3) to Tunbridge Wells, overground only via Orpington not London, off-peak day return, bought at the window from a human Journey 2, £24.40: Brixton Tube...

I've had this idea since childhood and it seems utterly simple. Bright yellow patch on the floor furthest from the doors of every carriage with big black writing saying 'Please stand here when the train is busy' or if we want to be a bit more engaging about it, a smiley face with 'Feet make me...

Sounds perfect.

Yes, it should be discounted. But at the moment we have singles costing about 90% of a return. Bring them down to 55% of a return and the returns would still be reasonably discounted. And I bet the companies would make more money with the increased usage, and the incentive to travel that freedom...

Thanks. Where is all the data on this sort of thing accessed from? I mean for example if I go up to the window in a station, and say I want to get a return from London Victoria to Oxted, but will take a train to Redhill and walk from there to Oxted for the return train - is the nice person...

Well exactly. But when are they going to bring out single leg pricing at long last? It's as ridiculously outmoded as charging for WiFi or closing pubs at 11pm. What's the point of it anyway?! They must actually lose money on people refusing to undertake journeys because if they're going to get...

Excellent - an open jaw is what I was looking for.

I'm not sure what the jargon term for this option of travel is but everyone is familiar with the 'Any London station' designation on a return ticket to London. So on a trip to London you can go home from a different London terminal to the one you arrived at. But this option is far more...
