There was a day last week (or the week before) where the subway from platforms 8-11 was shut in the morning, the entrance with escalators also shut, and then a queue for the staircase which got temporarily closed just as I reached it, due to overcrowding. I decided to walk to Warren Street to access the northern line, and it ended up counting as two separate journeys. It’ll be annoying if I have to keep contacting TfL for a refund every day I walk to Warren Street during these escalator works!
Separately, I took 16 minutes between tapping out at King’s Cross and then in at Euston the other day, and TfL have refused to merge the ‘two journeys’ as one because of it being over 15 mins (I didn’t tap in straight away as my train wasn’t at Euston yet!).

Maybe the traditional prepaid Travelcard season tickets will work out both cheaper and more convenient? |

Shouldn't fare-capping take care of that? Or does that not apply to your journey? (Not up here on some of the specifics of how fares are calculated.) |

Maybe the traditional prepaid Travelcard season tickets will work out both cheaper and more convenient? As I don’t take a bus as part of my regular commute, and I do not travel in every day, it’s a fair bit cheaper for me to just pay as I go. Shouldn't fare-capping take care of that? Or does that not apply to your journey? (Not up here on some of the specifics of how fares are calculated.) So I was charged £5.10 for the journey from zone 5 to Euston, and an additional £2.80 for the journey within zone 1 from Warren Street (even though the time between Euston and Warren St was only 8 mins). After the £5.10 journey home, the full £2.80 of additional cost was still within the daily cap (which I think is just under £14 for zones 1-5). |
