Shortlands (Z4) to Bromley South (Z5) is £3.00 off-peak.

Wembley Stadium (Z4) to South Ruislip (Z5) is £2.10 off-peak.

Same zones, but why the price difference?

Fares are decided by more than just the zones travelled through, but also what lines you use to make the journey.

@MikeWh's site explains this really well: https://oysterfares.com/information-pages/fares-guide-tables/

In a nutshell, Wembley Stadium - South Ruislip is charged by the London Underground fare scale while Shortlands to Bromley South is charged by the National Rail fare scale.

Don't worry - the price difference will be less from March, because the TfL-scale fares are increasing by an average of RPI+1 (5.8%) whilst NR-scale fares will be frozen. This particular fare will jump by 9.5% :(

So much for the "fares freeze"...

After all it was Bromley council who said Fares Fair was illegal...
