Thanks Mike, that's very useful. Explains why I was charged £2.40 from Southbury to Bethnal Green instead of the £1.50 I was expecting! Not sure why it is so much more considering it was all now Overground.

TfL were tied by the DfT into not reducing all fares to the TfL-LU scale because of the impact it would have on longer distance fares and those on nearby lines.

I suspect that this is pretty much the reason why TfL no longer publish the individual fare tables: because it's now so confusing with multiple different fare scales at play that the average person isn't going to have a clue what's what.

P.S. On at Southbury and off at Bethnal Green, that must have been a depressing trip (I say as a resident of not-far-from Southbury…)

Went to the Cinema at Enfield then to the Backyard Comedy Club in Bethnal Green (free tickets!) so the day was great. But, yes, the rail bit wasn't the best.
